  • I have inserted the sentence again because you apparently only read the last part and had overlooked the part about the building occupation and damage to property.

    Okay clearly you are not even interested whether the students were guilty.

    You may be surprised, but** I** don’t make the laws.

    And I fail to see how it makes it any better that Germany is deporting people demonstrating against genocide

    Then you should read the article again. Because almost 50% of the article consists of explaining what these 4 people are accused of and are - apparently - NOT simply protesting.


  • Yes, i have:

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

    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

    Some, but not all, of the allegations would correspond to criminal charges in Germany; almost none of them have been brought before a criminal court.

    Two, for example, are accused of calling a police officer “fascist” — insulting an officer, which is a crime. Three are accused of demonstrating with groups chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine Will be Free” — which was outlawed last year in Germany — and “free Palestine.” Authorities also claim all four shouted antisemitic or anti-Israel slogans, though none are specified.

    Two are accused of grabbing an officers’ or another protesters’ arm in an attempt to stop arrests at the train station sit-in.

    None of this sounds to me like 4 people who simply took part peacefully in a protest.


  • The article is borderline. Because it suggests that the people would ONLY be deported because they protested. But, as it says in the article, they SHOULD be deported because they have committed criminal offences. And criminal offences are not just murders or rapes.

    And yes, this is exactly what has been demanded for months: Foreign offenders should be deported more quickly and less ruthlessly. Especially if they come from safe countries. Here, for example, Ireland. The fact that these offences were committed in connection with protests doesn’t provide any protection, and I find it extremely sensational to even begin to compare this with what is happening in the USA.
