A detainee’s use of German gender ID laws—most likely a political prank—has complicated the cross-border transfer of a prisoner.

Marla-Svenja Liebich, previously known as Sven, is applying for another gender change after failing to report to prison, testing Germany’s self-ID law.

The activist announced his escape from reporting to serve his sentence in a women’s prison with online mockery and rumors of a flight to Russia.
