Horst Mahler was a German lawyer and political activist. He was a far-left militant and a founding member of the Red Army Faction in 1970 before switching to neo-Nazism in the late 1990s. Between 2000 and 2003, he was a member of the far-right National Democratic Party of Germany. From 2003, he was repeatedly convicted of Volksverhetzung and Holocaust denial, and he served much of a twelve-year prison sentence.
