Because a police officer of the special unit Cobra 2018 saved a girl in his spare time, who was apparently harassed by three asylum seekers, he was now sentenced to a fine in Eisenstadt. The asylum seekers had even attacked him violently.

In the summer of 2018, a 37-year-old police officer sat on a park bench with his wife in the early hours of the morning after a public festival.Three young men who approached the couple with kissing gestures and “fucky, fucky” shouts, the elite policeman was able to turn them away.Then he noticed that the three men approached and began talking to a 17-year-old girl sitting a few meters away and, in his perception, sexually harassed her. So the officer intervened and tried to de-escalate the situation without success. The young men turned to the officer and his wife.When the man revealed himself to be a policeman, the badge was knocked out of his hand. In the ensuing scuffle, both the officer and his wife were injured, as well as an Iraqi “refugee”. They had to be taken from the ambulance to the hospital for treatment.In January of this year, the policeman and his wife were finally brought to court. The trial had to be postponed, however, because the Iraqi had gone into hiding as an alleged victim, and the two other parties involved – Afghans – gave partly contradictory statements.Now the judgement was passed. Among other things, the police officer and his wife were convicted of assault and defamation.He received seven months on probation and a fine of 11,700 Euros, she got eight months on probation.Since the couple’s defense attorney announced an appeal, the verdict is not final. The lawyer had also presented a psychological report from the police, which described the man as an impeccable policeman. In addition, the defence lawyer had stressed that his client had simply shown civil courage.

A convicted rapist who viciously beat and raped a 63-year-old woman is set to be released by the Parole Board after serving just seven years in prison.

Wendell Baker, the Jamaican born rapist, was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of the attack on a retired secretary, Hazel Blackwell in her East London home.

In 1997, Baker beat and raped Mrs Blackwell, breaking her ribs in the process before locking her in a cupboard. She was only rescued by chance 15 hours later after a neighbour saw that her milk was still on her doorstep.

Mrs Backwell died five years later, never fully recovering from the attack.  Her son said that she died “with a broken heart and a shadow of her former self”, according to The Telegraph.

Baker was initially acquitted for the heinous crime on a technicality, however, but was later retried and convicted after a change to the double jeopardy laws was made in 2005. The change to the law allowed the prosecutors to use DNA evidence that was blocked in the first trial.

In 2013, he was found guilty and was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of ten and a half years behind bars, but has been cleared for release after serving just seven.

A report conducted at the time of the brutal attack said that Baker had a “tendency to resort to violence and the use of weapons, being violent to a partner, alcohol misuse and using illegal drugs, not being able to control extreme emotions, being influenced by anti-social friends….and not thinking about what will happen as a result of his actions.”

Yet a remote Parole Board hearing found that the convicted rapist is “suitable for release”.

“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public after release and whether that risk is manageable in the community,” a Parole Board spokesman said.

“We do that with great care and public safety is our number one priority,” he added.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said of the case: “This was a despicable crime and our deepest sympathies remain with the victims’ family and friends.

“Like all life sentence prisoners released by the independent Parole Board, Wendell Baker will be on licence for the rest of his life and subject to strict conditions – and faces a return to prison if he fails to comply.”

On Tuesday evening at about 21.20 hrs, the inhabitants of an apartment building in Freiberg called the police.Previously they had heard screams from a neighbouring apartment.

Police and paramedics immediately drove to the scene of the crime in the street Straße der Einheit.

According to Chemnitz police, the officers spotted a woman in the hallway who was already dead and for whom any help came too late. The emergency doctor could only confirm the death of the 33-year-old woman.

Based on the circumstances in which the body was found, there were indications that the woman of Afghan origin was the victim of a violent crime. Criminal investigators began an investigation on the spot.

Another resident (39 years old), who also lives in this apartment and who was slightly injured, finally surrendered.

There is a strong suspicion that he had used violence on the woman and thus killed her.

The man of Afghan nationality was provisionally arrested shortly after midnight. According to the police, an arrest warrant was issued for the 39-year-old suspect. He is already on his way to a prison.

30 years of Arab integration, a success story. Therefore, the test setup is being re-run with at least ten times the amount of presumable to be integrated. The successes have been evident for some time now, the well-established clans are scared shitless of the new ones, whose members often have war experience in relevant militias. Chechen clans, the Nigerian Black Axe and others are now being added to the milieu. There will be some new activity in the economic sectors of prostitution, drug trafficking and international human trafficking. The question remains as to whether this is actually still of any concern to us.One thing is certain, however, and that is that no measures have been taken at all against violations of contact restrictions on account of Corona.

The daily newspaper WELT reports on a current case:

About 200 people interfered with the execution of an arrest warrant against an 18-year-old in Duisburg. An “unspecified number of people” had a “clan connection”, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday. According to the spokesperson, it took 36 police forces to arrest the 18-year-old.

According to police, the 18-year-old man, who is wanted with a warrant of arrest, was noticed by a patrol in the Duisburg district of Marxloh on Tuesday evening. When the man had discovered the police officers, he had first fled into a house. During the arrest in the hallway, he had physically resisted. Several people then entered the hallway and obstructed police action. According to a police spokesperson, the officers threatened to use pepper spray.The police would not say why there was a warrant for the young man’s arrest.

When the officers wanted to leave the house along with the 18-year-old, according to the police, there were already about 200 people in front of the door. The mobilized reinforcements had formed a corridor through which the officers had taken the 18-year-old to their car. Two other people were taken into custody as they tried to get past the barrier. According to the police, nobody was injured.

It’s an interesting data point. I touched on it while writing about immigrant workers in Swedish nursing homes.

In early April, some medical experts estimated that Somalis represented 40% of the coronavirus deaths in Stockholm and 18% of the death toll in Sweden. That may be because of Stockholm’s first 15 coronavirus deaths, 6 of those who died were Somalis. The Somalis have been followed by Iraqis, Syrians, and Afghans as being significantly overrepresented among the ranks of coronavirus cases.

In early April, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health revealed that immigrants made up 1 in 5 cases of the virus and that 1 in 100 Somalis in Norway had tested positive for the virus. A week later, it was 1 in 4. Somalis made up 6% of confirmed cases. And in Helsinki, Finland, Somalis accounted for 17% of cases.

The coronavirus is a recent phenomenon and we don’t have all the answers as to why some groups appear to be more vulnerable to it than others. Researchers have proposed varying explanations for Somali vulnerability from ethnic benign neutropenia, to low vitamin D levels, dense living conditions, intergenerational households, high rates of smoking, and poor language skills.

And now some data points from the UK.

Nearly all the doctors who have died of covid-19 in the United Kingdom have been ethnic minorities, most born overseas, like el-Tayar, according to the British Medical Association.

That grim toll has confounded health experts, alarmed minority physicians, and startled a nation that relies on immigrants to swell the ranks of its public health-care system 

Relying on them might not be a good idea, especially considering the rate of coronavirus infections in hospitals which may be as high as 1 in 5.

An estimated 44 percent of doctors in Britain are from ethnic minority backgrounds, significantly higher than the 13 percent in the population at large. Last year, more than half the new doctors who registered in Britain were born overseas.

But experts say it’s still baffling that 93 percent of the doctors who have died of covid-19 were ethnic minorities.

It is baffling. It shows that there’s still plenty we don’t know about the virus. 

People of African and Middle Eastern origin do appear to be more susceptible to the disease. Some of the doctors in question however were from Pakistan and India.

According to a Guardian newspaper analysis, more than 180 health workers have died of covid-19, the majority of them ethnic minorities. Another analysis of 106 National Health Service deaths found that two-thirds were among ethnic minorities.

These numbers are striking. And looking deeper into what they mean would be more helpful if the media didn’t, as usual, pivot to false claims of racism.

The NHS numbers do seem to show a high rate of Asian deaths among NHS workers. Unlike the US, this is more likely to mean Pakistani. Health care workers born in the Philippines however seemed to have the highest death rate.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis was slapped with a RON 5,000 (€1,032) by the country’s National Anti-Discrimination Council (CNDC) yesterday, (Wednesday May 20), while today he will receive the prestigious Charlemagne Award of the German city of Aachen for his contributions to European unity. These two unrelated pieces of information seem to be in stark contradiction, so they may deserve closer scrutiny.

First, the man behind the news: Klaus Werner Iohannis (60), was born in the historic centre of Szeben (Sibiu in Romanian) to a Transylvanian Saxon family as the eldest child of Gustav Heinz and Susanne Johannis. (He now uses the alternative spelling Iohannis). A high school physics teacher by training, Iohannis entered politics after several years in education, becoming mayor of his hometown in 2000 and president of the political representation of the ethnic Germans in Romania (FDGR) in 2001.

His career received a major boost in the mid-naughts, when he successfully oversaw his city’s preparations for European Capital of Culture in 2007. This eventually led to him becoming the prime ministerial candidate of an alliance of three opposition parties in 2009. In 2013, he joined the Liberal Party (PNL) and won the following year’s presidential election by a comfortable margin, partly helped by the voters of the largest ethnic minority, the Hungarians.

In theory, himself hailing from an ethnic minority and well aware of their problems, he should have been at least a friendly face for minorities in general. During his two terms in office, however, his relationship with the Hungarian minority, which began as one of allies, has deteriorated significantly since 2015.

But the true cold shower for the Hungarian minority came three weeks ago, when he accused the ethnic Hungarian minority in Transylvania, the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Romanian prime minister himself of plotting to give Transylvania to Hungary. It was also a direct swipe at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, with Iohannis suggesting that Orbán may have promised something to the PSD in exchange for handing over Transylvania.

He may have played the nationalist card to restore some of his party’s popularity lost during the coronavirus pandemic, but nearing the end of his second (and, according to article 84, paragraph 3 of the Romanian Constitution his last) term, he had no real stake either way.

As recipient of the Charlemagne Prize, he joins the ranks of Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, Henry Kissinger and Pope John Paul II “for lasting services for the unity of Europe”. But does he truly deserve it considering that just the other day his home country’s discrimination watchdog fined him for “an act of discrimination and harming the dignity of an ethnic/national minority”?

At the state’s initial reception facility in Ellwangen, Baden-Württemberg, several migrants attacked security personnel and injured six employees.

The police were called in on Sunday evening with a contingent of 30 officers. In addition, twelve rescue workers had to come. The police are investigating the perpetrators for committing dangerous bodily harm.

According to police information, a 13-year-old Afghan and a 43-year-old from Gambia got into a dispute over a water bottle in the canteen. When the Gambian hit the Afghan in the face, the security guards tried to intervene and defuse the situation.

Quite quickly, the aggression of the two fighting parties was then directed against the employees of the reception center instead. In fact, all the Africans present started attacking them. After the immigrants were driven out of the canteen, around 15 Africans armed themselves with chairs and broken glass and pushed into the building again.

The police said that the rest of the Africans were watching and calling on the attackers to injure the personnel. In addition to the six wounded security forces, the Afghan and Gambian who had started the fight also sustained injuries.

A large-scale police operation was also necessary on Monday in an asylum accommodation in Geldersheim, Lower Franconia, after the residents first protested against the quarantine regulations, but later attacked the employees and the police.

According to the police, around 100 demonstrators mobbed together in the morning. In the afternoon, migrants boycotted the food supply and around 30 people “massively” attacked the emergency services, with one of the immigrants biting an official in the thigh.

In addition to two police helicopters, the Schweinfurt police, the operational supplementary services Schweinfurt and Würzburg, the riot police in Würzburg and also the riot police in Nuremberg were on duty from six in the morning to seven in the evening.

Some 16 asylum seekers were arrested and are being investigated for dangerous bodily harm and coercion. In addition, the police said they were using video material to investigate other possible crimes.

In yet another incident involving migrants, a mob of around 200 people tried to prevent the arrest of an 18-year-old on Tuesday in the Marxloh district of Duisburg. Some of the people had a “clan connection” , a police spokesman told the news agency dpa.

The young man was searched by a patrol but resisted. After he tried to escape, the police arrested him in a hallway. Several people were therefore disabled by the officials. Meanwhile, around 200 people gathered in front of the house to stop the arrest. Only the reinforcements summoned could hold back the clan attack. The police arrested two other people for violent resistance.

Similar scenes of clan solidarity had already occurred in the Marxloh district on Sunday evening. An 18-year-old also sought by the police had been recognized by patrol officers. After his arrest, around 30 family members intervened. According to a police spokesman, they shouted at the officers and filmed them. The situation was brought under control by additional security forces.

The young man’s 17-year-old sister was also arrested after attacking the police. Her brother had been searched on suspicion of being involved in an attack on a 44-year-old. Two officers were slightly injured in the operation.

Experts have warned that a ruling by the German constitutional court on the European Central Bank (ECB) could lead to the breakup of the euro currency.

Guntram Wolff, chief of the think tank Bruegel, is one of the experts to sound the alarm over the German court’s ruling, labelling it “dangerous” and saying it affected “the entire EU legal order but also the ECB’s functioning”.The German court rejected earlier this month a programme by the ECB to buy several trillions of euros worth of government bonds to combat inflation, saying the bank would need to prove the bond-buying was necessary and proportionate.

If the bank does not prove to the German court that the buying is proportionate within three months, Germany’s central bank, the Bundesbank, will stop purchasing bonds under the ECB’s stimulus programme.

“Then we have a full-scale crisis and conflict,” Guntramm Wolff told Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Radio on Tuesday.

Professor of European law at Uppsala University Carl Fredrik Bergström claimed the judgement could instead allow the European Court of Justice to rule in the matter and said in the long-term it could give strength to the European Union’s legal system.

Wolff is just the latest expert to predict dark days ahead for the euro. In March, Belgian economist Professor Paul De Grauwe said that a lack of solidarity in the political bloc regarding the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak could lead to the break up of the union.

“If I were Italian and if I saw that other countries are not willing to help Italy, I would question membership in the Union,” he said.

Desmond Lachman, an analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, added: “After all, being a founding member of the euro and the third member of the eurozone, the euro could not survive without Italy.”

French economist Jean-Paul Fitoussi has also expressed alarm, saying: “If there is no real solidarity, a real mutualisation of the debt, we will either continue to go even further underwater or do something politically incorrect but inevitable: say ‘enough’ and get out.”
