people for as long as a year.<\/p>\n<p>Susanne F\u00fcrst of the&nbsp;FP\u00d6 fears that an amendment to the&nbsp;Administrative Enforcement Act could be used to enforce the proposed mandatory coronavirus vaccination policy against the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\"

\u20ac2,000 (\u00a31,701\/$2,255) and would also increase prison time for refuseniks from just four weeks to up to a year in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Those jailed may also be ordered to pay for their own imprisonment under the new amendment, which states: \u201cIf detention is carried out by the courts, the associated costs shall be recovered by the courts from the obligated party in accordance with the provisions existing for the recovery of the costs of enforcing judicial penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the amendment makes no specific mention of the Wuhan virus or the mandatory vaccine policy,
