Germany: 12 years in prison for 34 stabbings are not severe enough for her family – Iraqi considered the murder victim his property

A young woman, butchered to death with 34 stab wounds and cuts. Is this truly ” just” manslaughter?

No, says the family of Fatemeh B. († 28). “The man must never get out of prison ever again!”

On Wednesday, the appeal trial against Zyad S. (24) started at the Regional Court of Lübeck. In the first instance, the Iraqi was sentenced to twelve years in prison.

Manslaughter, that was the court’s verdict at the time. Not murder.

The joint plaintiffs are Fatemeh’s father Kheirollah (60) and sister Sara (24). Their lawyer, the representative of the plaintiffs, Sebastian Brill, explains on behalf of his clients: “Fatemeh felt comfortable in Germany, she enjoyed her freedom.

But according to the prosecution, the Iraqi did not want to grant this freedom to his girlfriend, with whom he had been dating for three months.

His motive for the murder: Zyad S. had considered Fatemeh to be his property.

Lawyer Brill on his successful appeal to the Federal Supreme Court: “The Federal Supreme Court ruled that the first instance had not sufficiently taken jealousy and insidiousness into account.”

The crime: Zyad S. had lured his victim to a dirt road near Heiligenhafen at night and stabbed her to death.

Beforehand, according to the accused, Fatemeh had said that she would cheat on him – “I was as angry as I had never been in my life. Then there came the stabbings.”

Witnesses to the young woman’s alleged statement? Absolutely none.

Trial continues.

Attacker wounds 8 people in Sweden with knife, allegedly screamed ‘Allahu Akbar’

Eight people were injured in a knife attack in the town of Vetlanda in southern Sweden, and police are investigating the incident as terrorism. During the arrest, police shot the perpetrator in the leg. As the Novinky news outlet pointed out, according to Jihadwatch.org, the man is believed to have shouted “Allahu Akbar”, a line often used by Islamic terrorists, during the attack.

According to a Swedish Local.se news outlet, which referred to the local police, the attacker is between 20 and 30 years of age of unknown origin. The motive is not clear yet.

Police arrived at the crime scene in the city center around 3:00 p.m. after people reported several injured with a weaon, the public SVT television reported. Interior Minister Mikael Damberg then spoke of several seriously injured people.

Police investigate the case as terrorism, although it first classified it as attempted multiple murder.

Swedish police have closed several areas in the center of the city, located about 270 kilometers southwest of Stockholm. However, they later reported that the situation was under control and there was no indication that the perpetrator had an accomplice or that further attacks were imminent.

According to Local.se, the detained man was supposed to be known for “petty crimes” and lived in nearby Småland.

“An intensive investigation is underway. We currently want to hear from all witnesses and people who might have more information about the incident. That is one of the reasons why we cannot tell more details at the moment,” quoted Local.se local police chief Malena Grann.

“We have information that leads us to investigate this act as terrorism, but I cannot provide further information,” Grann added.

According to the police, the national terrorism threat level in Sweden is currently in the third grade out of five. At a news conference, police said they had no prior information that such an incident could occur in Vetland, but the level of threat “indicated that something like this could happen in Sweden.”

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven condemned the attack as a “horrific act” and added that the Säpo secret police were also working on the case.

“They are continuously assessing whether there is a reason to strengthen security measures and are ready to do so if necessary,” he said in a statement quoted by the Swedish TT news agency.

Sweden has experienced two terrorist attacks in recent years. In December 2010, two explosions rocked the center of the Swedish capital. Only the attacker died, but two other people were injured. The second attack took place in April 2017. A radical Islamist drove a car into a crowd of people on a busy shopping street in central Stockholm and killed five people. Police arrested him after he crashed into a department store and was unable to continue driving. In 2018, Uzbek citizen Rakhmat Akilov was sentenced for this terrorist attack to life imprisonment.

Axe-Wielding Attacker in Sweden of Afghan Origin, Reports Say

The Turkish Mosque Association in Germany is outwardly liberal and inwardly highly anti-Semitic

In November 2019, the municipality of Göttingen signed the “joint declaration for peace and mutual respect and against anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism” with representatives of the religious communities. It says: “There is no place for slurs here. We see diversity as an opportunity and call for a respectful and open approach to the social debate on religious and cultural plurality.Mustafa Keskin, long-time chairman of the Ditib community in Göttingen, also signed this declaration. According to its own statements, the German-Turkish mosque association Ditib has more than 900 members.Postings that Keskin published on Facebook and WhatsApp from 2013 to 2021 show a different picture of the honorary Islamic association official. The posts contain, among other things, a positive reference to the far-right assassin of the Pope in 1981, conspiracy myths as well as hatemongering messages against Jews and Armenians.

For example, one of Keskin’s postings from May 2015 shows Pope Francis and the Turkish right-wing extremist Mehmet Ali Agca, who seriously injured John Paul II in an assassination attempt in 1981.

Because Francis acknowledges the Armenian genocide as a historical reality, he should not be surprised if he is shot in the head, says the post, which, like the other posts, was published in Turkish.Other posts from May 2015 say “Jerusalem belongs to Muslims” and “Armenian bastard dogs”. In addition, Keskin posted a photo of an Israeli soldier, with a child raising his hand in front of him.”He opposes the Jewish dog, saying: your Zionism will be surprised when I strike you down with an Ottoman slap,” Keskin wrote about it at the time.

The same month, he posted a meme featuring Turkish President Erdogan and former Israeli President Shimon Peres. “The first since Sultan Abdülhamid to stand up to the cursed Jew, the powerful voice of the silent Ummah: Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” it read. A picture from 2014 shows a weapon composed of the map of Israel stabbing the torso of a child.

At the time, a Beretta pistol with ammunition also appeared on his Facebook profile picture.

In January 2021, Keskin posted a photo on WhatsApp referring to former US President Donald Trump as an “old puppet”, his successor Joe Biden as a “new puppet” and investment banker Jacob Rothschild as a “puppet master”. The Rothschild family functions in anti-Semitic conspiracy myths as a placeholder for “the Jews”, who are hallucinated as powerful and dominating world politics.Christoph de Vries ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU), rapporteur for religious communities of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, calls Mustafa Keskin “the typical face of political Islamism”. With him, the Janus-facedness can be witnessed, which is already known among Ditib representatives in other cases. “Outwardly appearing liberal and tolerant and committed to inter-religious dialogue, inwardly acting in a grossly anti-Semitic, nationalistic and intolerant manner,” said de Vries. The case shows once again that with regard to Ditib, the highest level of vigilance and restraint in state and civil society cooperation is required.

In major blow to civil liberties, German intelligence agencies can now spy on AfD party

One of Germany’s top intelligence agencies has reportedly classified the entire Alternative for Germany party (AfD) as a suspected right-wing extremist group, thus paving the way for allowing state intelligence agencies to monitor party members, including the ability to read their emails and listen to their phone calls. 

The chief of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Thomas Haldenwang, informed all state offices on Wednesday that the step was taken on Feb. 25. However, due to legal complications, the BfV is. not permitted to officially announce the new AfD designation to the public.

Given AfD’s status as the largest opposition party in Germany and the harm the new classification could have on the party’s chances in upcoming elections, there are concerns that democratic principles may not apply to the AfD due to its rejection of mass migration and its electoral threat to the establishment parties of the country.

The new classification means that the BfV can track the party using all intelligence procedures, including secret methods. However, due to the unfinished proceedings before the administrative court, the agency is not yet monitoring AfD members of the Federal Assembly, state parliaments, and the European Parliament, including AfD candidates for this year’s German parliamentary elections.

The Federal Spokesman for the AfD, Tino Chrupalla, highlighted the undemocratic nature of the decision and accused the BfV of leaking the information before it was officially allowed to do so in order to harm the AfD’s electoral chances.

“The [BfV] intervenes with state resources in the free competition of democratic parties. Although it is not allowed to announce the suspected case, it is launching appropriate information to the media in order to harm the AfD. This is unique in the history of the Federal Republic,” Chrupella wrote. 

The BfV’s decision was preceded by another revision of an approximately 1,000-page report that was already available in January. However, the Federal Ministry of the Interior is said to have not given the green light for this due to legal risks. The new version has now apparently been approved.

At the national level, German counterintelligence decided in March last year to watch the nationalist Wing (Der Flügel) within the AfD, because, according to authorities, the brnach was confirmed to be extreme right-wing group. Although the wing has formally dissolved in the meantime, members from the group are still strongly represented in AfD and contributed to the new classification.

According to Spiegel, the report provides evidence that the AfD violates the guarantee of human dignity and the principle of democracy in the Basic Law. There are also said to be connections to organizations such as the Identitarian Movement, One Percent, and the Institute for State Policy as well as Compact magazine.

Officially no confirmation because of AfD lawsuits

When questioned by the media, the BfV did not want to confirm the decision.

“With regard to the unfinished proceedings and respect for the court, the BfV will not comment publicly on this matter,” the magazine quoted a counterintelligence spokesman. The AfD has taken a number of legal steps to prevent the counterintelligence from monitoring the party.

Several state associations of the AfD had already been classified as suspected cases. Most recently, the AfD Saxony was targeted by the secret service. The opposition party is also being observed as a suspected case in Thuringia, Brandenburg, and Saxony-Anhalt.
