Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters
Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters
Four Gaza protesters in Germany are set for deportations despite objections from an immigration official that none were convicted of crimes.
Such a disgrace for our country, its news like these where Luxemburg's "socialism or barbarism" is really obvious
Hard agree!
From what I read online, it seems that they may have partaken in criminal offenses (read something about storming a building with improvised weapons), but deporting someone before their trial is due and they have been convicted, is not how it should work in a supposedly-civilised country!
Exactly. IMHO they should not be deported at all, but brought before a judge and, if breaking of law is confirmed, put into jail like any other person, deporting someone to a place where they get starved, shot or lynched should not be permitted in a civilized nation, but deported without a trial? This is just plainy not a fair democracy in any kind of sense, not even a rightwing one. This is WillkĂŒr
It is utterly shameful for Germany to be doing shit like this. Disgraceful.
"awww shit here we go again"
(For those who don't know, the Nazis got their ideas from the US right wing)
Soft Paywall.
Is this protestors who are on tourist, student and temporary visas?
EDIT: They are not citizens. Paywall bypass..
I don't think it is that simple. If we allow these people free speech then we risk setting a precedent for outsiders coming to Germany to support Far-Right rallies. Laws are double-edged.
When I travel to Asian countries I am warned in my Visa application to not participate in any political activity. I take risks anyhow but have been lucky.
So we better repress all political activism because it might be far right? The far right would applaud this concept and wouldn't need outside supporters if you fight for their cause.
EDIT: Also most palestinians living here can't become a permant resident because they would need certification from their state but Germany doesn't recognize their state as one.
"we should adopt far right laws before the far right has the chance to do so"

Ah, whoops. I block JS and didn't notice that. Here's an archive. I did a quick search and didn't see any articles that mention what kind of visas they have.
