  • The only event that tied the four cases together was the allegation that the protesters participated in the university occupation, which involved property damage, and alleged obstruction of an arrest

    I highlighted it already. Not sure why you are trying to quote other paragraphs out of context. Here it is again

    None of the protesters are accused of any particular acts of vandalism or the de-arrest at the university

    Under German migration law, authorities don’t need a criminal conviction to issue a deportation order

    Okay clearly you are not even interested whether the students were guilty. The essense of your argument condenses to

    “Yes but unlike in America, in Germany this is legal!”

    And I fail to see how it makes it any better that Germany is deporting people demonstrating against genocide, simply because you believe it is legal (which it probably is not according to international human rights laws, which Germany is supposed to follow).


  • Did you read the same article?

    None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.

    Each of the four protesters faces separate allegations from the authorities, all of which are sourced from police files and tied to pro-Palestine actions in Berlin.

    The only event that tied the four cases together was the allegation that the protesters participated in the university occupation, which involved property damage, and alleged obstruction of an arrest — a so-called de-arrest aimed at blocking a fellow protesters’ detention. None of the protesters are accused of any particular acts of vandalism or the de-arrest at the university. Instead, the deportation order cites the suspicion that they took part in a coordinated group action. (The Free University told The Intercept it had no knowledge of the deportation orders.)

    All four are accused, without evidence, of supporting Hamas, a group Germany has designated as a terrorist organization.

    All four have, for the meantime, been ordered to leave Germany by April 21, 2025, or face forcible deportation.
