Summary: An interesting appeal at ILO unearthed to expose a profoundly dysfunctional ILO 'tribunal' and an unbelievably cruel EPO that 'burns' its own staff and then disclaims liability

Dr. Anette Koch, a former staff representative at the European Patent Office (EPO), was mentioned here a few times over the years. She was ruthlessly and mercilessly fired for her disability, which had likely been caused by her job at the EPO. So much for caring about one's employees, eh? Battistelli and António Campinos probably prefer for her to just disappear because her case opens all sorts of jars full of worms, implicating many top officials of the EPO.

Two days ago her Twitter account became active again. Here's what she has said since the last time we mentioned her case, in chronological order (oldest first):
