The author wrote that for a political awakening in Berlin, new paths must be taken and antisemitism as well as hatred towards Israel must be excluded. A coalition of CDU, Greens, and SPD would not be perfect in his assessment, but with a common personality of nationwide impact in the Red City Hall, it could make history for Berlin. #Berlin #Politik #Gemeinschaft #DE (translated)

The Bank of England has announced that in the future, British banknotes will feature animals such as bumblebees, barn owls, hedgehogs, and puffins instead of historical figures like Winston Churchill, which has met sharp criticism in parts of politics. #BankofEngland #britischGeldscheine #TierestattMenschen (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that several media outlets reported that the 27-year-old Afghan, who had been shot by police officers the day before, was subject to deportation and that his removal had already been prepared. According to media reports, he had prior convictions for bodily harm, theft, and damage to property. The Rottweil public prosecutor's office could not confirm this information to her upon request, given the early stage of the investigation. It also could not answer questions about possible commitments to psychiatric clinics due to a danger to others. The public prosecutor's office cited the deceased's personal rights and the early stage of the investigation as reasons. It was only confirmed that the man had come to attention due to theft offenses and property damage; he had not received a prison sentence. Kussmann announced that she would check back in a few days and report on it. #Tuttlingen #Polizei #Abschiebung (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that he had reviewed the 102-page bill from the federal government on the "Law Against Digital Violence." In his assessment, the draft could enable courts to order the disclosure of names, addresses, phone numbers, and IP data for certain punishable statements without prior criminal conviction. According to Barghoorn, in the case of a serious violation of personal rights and an existing risk of repetition, an entire account could be temporarily suspended. Platforms should also prevent suspended users from opening new accounts; phone numbers and email addresses could be used for recognition. The draft also includes larger closed messenger groups without specifying a specific minimum number of members. According to Barghoorn, user data could already be secured legally before a final decision on their disclosure is made and transmitted to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the refusal to provide a demanded penalty-bearing cease-and-desist declaration could also serve as an indicator for a possible account suspension. He acknowledged that the draft includes judicial reservations and further prerequisites. At the same time, he asked what could happen if the instruments were specifically used against uncomfortable critics to lift their anonymity and limit their reach. A democracy must also be able to withstand sharp, uncomfortable, and anonymous criticism, he wrote. #Digitalrechte #Meinungsfreiheit #Datenschutz (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that he is not afraid of Putin, but of Friedrich Merz. Merz's persistent, what Gorus sees as obsessive and undistant engagement with Ukraine could indicate, against the background of a narcissistic personality attributed to him by Gorus, that Merz wants to compensate for his daily feeling of personal shame over a complete failure in office by Germany's entry into war against Russia. #Politik #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

Yes, please. The inciter of the people, Hape Kerkeling, may report me... Those who have no idea about freedom of expression law should keep their mouths shut before they embarrass themselves, like @DrHOSP1. You don’t have to be convicted of incitement to hatred to have to be labeled an inciter of the people in a permissible context like here. I never claimed that Hape Kerkeling was convicted of incitement to hatred. However, given that there are really enough "connecting facts" to arrive at the opinion that is also not "concocted out of thin air," that Kerkeling is engaging in incitement to hatred and "Holocaust relativization" here. And the balancing with his general personal rights clearly weighs in my favor. After all, he essentially accuses an opposition party of wanting to establish extermination camps like in the Third Reich, which can certainly be classified under § 130 Abs. 3 Variant 3 of the Penal Code. If Kerkeling files a criminal complaint, then "he" might win before an uninformed magistrate. But such a procedure will certainly not end there. And sooner or later, experienced courts in cases of freedom of expression will come in, who know about freedom of opinion and would rule in my favor. Why has none of these whole inciters of the people dared to report me? Because they know how it ends, in my favor. #Meinungsfreiheit #Volksverhetzung #Äußerungsrecht (translated)

After the Federal Prosecutor's Office announced yesterday that a Kuwait-born suspected IS fighter was arrested in Hesse and a Syrian suspected war criminal was arrested in Rhineland-Palatinate, I made a press inquiry. I wanted to know when the suspects entered Germany, whether they applied for asylum, and what residence status they had at and after entry as well as what they currently have. I also wanted to know whether the suspects had previously been known to the police for similar crimes or violent offenses or had a criminal record. Shortly after that, I received a call from a spokesperson for the Federal Prosecutor, who informed me that they did not want to provide any further information due to the protection of the suspects' personal rights. I took note of this and wrote a rebuttal, citing the necessary weighing between the public's interest in information and the specific, worthy interests of the affected suspects. I pointed out that my questions 1-3 exclusively concern the stay of the suspects in Germany, withdrew the fourth question (because one can argue here with the presumption of innocence and personal rights), and requested answers to questions 1-3. Lastly, I asked to at least name the year of entry and answer the question about the asylum application if more detailed responses are not possible. In case no response is given, I requested confirmation of the refusal to provide information as well as a concrete justification. I received the response earlier via email, see screenshot. They concluded, after weighing "all possible aspects," that the personal rights of a suspected IS fighter and a suspected war criminal, who is accused of executing three people with a close-range headshot, weigh more heavily than the legitimate public interest in knowing how long the suspects have been in Germany and whether they entered the country as asylum seekers. Well then. This does not correspond to my understanding of transparency. In this context, I would like to point out that you can also support my work. Any support helps to make research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical costs, and the further expansion of my portal Current Information possible. Unfortunately, at the moment, the costs are higher than the revenue. I would therefore be very pleased and grateful for any support.

Good morning everyone, on September 13, there was an alleged rape of a minor in the community accommodation in Kölleda (Thuringia). Yesterday, on September 30, the Erfurt police informed about this. So no, they actually didn't inform but merely clarified that there are speculations and false claims regarding the case in social media, which one should not participate in. For over two weeks, they did not consider it necessary to inform the public about the alleged sexual offense in a community accommodation involving a minor victim. Only after it was spread online did they feel compelled to say something while also stating that no information would be released about what happened. Therefore, one should not be surprised about rumors, speculations, and subsequent false claims. This handling is typical, as looking at the press releases after entering the relevant search terms in the police reports from 2025, just over 100 reports appear. However, according to the PKS, there were actually 14,454 cases of rapes, sexual coercions, and sexual assaults in particularly serious cases last year. The public is thus informed only about a fraction of the crimes. I inquired why the public is only being informed now, after rumors have spread. I also asked whether the suspect and victim are residents of the accommodation, how old the suspect and the victim are, what nationalities they have, and if the suspect has had previous police records for similar offenses or violent crimes. If I receive a response, I will report back. Most likely, as the police report reads, they will often refer to personal rights and want to deny the answer. #Vergewaltigung #Kriminalität #Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (translated)

Guten Morgen zusammen, heute vor neun Jahren, am 29. September 2017 wurde in Wittenberg der damals 30-jährige Marcus Hempel von einem zur Tatzeit 17-jährigen Syrer vor einem Einkaufszentrum totgeschlagen. Sabri H. wurde zweieinhalb Jahre später vor der Jugendstrafkammer des Landgerichts Magdeburg wegen Körperverletzung mit Todesfolge zu zwei Jahren Haft auf Bewährung und 120 Arbeitsstunden verurteilt. Es ist der Beharrlichkeit des Vaters von Marcus zu verdanken, dass es überhaupt zu diesem Prozess kam. Denn zuerst wollte die Staatsanwaltschaft den Fall als Notwehrhandlung des Syrers abtun. Das, obwohl es Videoaufnahmen gibt, die zeigen, dass dem nicht so war. Am Ende stand dann das bemerkenswert milde Urteil gegen den 17-Jährigen. Gegen den Vater von Marcus ermittelte dann kurzfristig die Polizei, weil es einen Hinweis gab, er würde sich an dem Syrer rächen wollen. Polizisten suchten Herrn Hempel im Dezember 2020 an seinem Arbeitsplatz auf und führten eine Gefährderansprache durch. Gegen den Vater des Opfers. Hiergegen wehrte sich Herr Hempel mit einer Strafanzeige wegen falscher Verdächtigung, woraufhin die Polizei eingestehen musste, dass die Gefährderansprache rechtswidrig war und die polizeiliche Maßnahme zurückgenommen werden musste. Der Persönlichkeitsschutz des jugendlichen Täters scheint hingegen bis heute oberste Priorität für die deutsche Justiz zu haben. Als ich im Frühjahr vergangenen Jahres das Urteil anforderte, wurde mir die Herausgabe verweigert mit der Begründung, dass „überwiegend schutzwürdige Interessen des zur Tatzeit jugendlichen Verurteilten zu beachten und zu schützen sind.“ Dies ist bis dato die einzige Verweigerung dieser Art bei über zweihundert Urteilsanfragen. #Justiz #Opferrecht #Gesellschaft

Wir werden unsere Heimatstadt weiter aus vollen Kräften unterstützen, wenn es jetzt darum geht, international zu überzeugen. Über Jahrzehnte haben Persönlichkeiten unseres Clubs die verbindende Kraft der Spiele selbst erlebt, von Uli Hoeneß über Serge Gnabry bis zu Michael Olise, Klara Bühl oder Andreas Obst zuletzt in Paris 2024. Deutschland braucht den Mut zu großen Projekten und die Begeisterung, die daraus entsteht. Das gemeinsame Ziel ist es, München zu einem Treffpunkt für alle, für die ganze Welt, zu machen. Der FC Bayern steht bereit, als Botschafter seinen Beitrag dazu zu leisten.” #München #OlympischeSpiele #FCBayern

Unfassbar: BILD Reporter spüren krankgeschriebenen Menschenhändler auf, der sich mit mutterlosem Säugling auf Flughafen rumtreibt, und belügt die Leser mit der Herkunft des Babys. Dann löscht BILD das Bild, Begründung: „Persönlichkeitsrechte“. Was ist mit den Persönlichkeitsrechten vom kleinen Gregor, dem zwei Männer seine Mutter vorenthalten? #BILD #Menschhandel #Persönlichkeitsrechte

Den Verfall der Gesellschaft erkennt man auch daran, dass das Bundesverdienstkreuz, das einst Persönlichkeiten wie Ludwig Erhard und Franz Josef Strauß vorbehalten war, jetzt Ruprecht Polenz für seine geistigen Ergüsse auf Social Media an die Brust genagelt wird. #Bundesverdienstkreuz #Gesellschaft #Politik

Die Wahlen in Ostdeutschland zeigen signifikante Unterschiede zum Westen, mit starken Gewinnen für die AfD und die Linke sowie der Beibehaltung des Status der CDU und SPD als Volksparteien, wobei regionale Persönlichkeiten und soziale Themen entscheidend für den Wahlausgang waren, was potenziell die Bundespolitik beeinflussen könnte. #Ostwahlen #AfD #Bundespolitik
