A family with children woke up when a man carrying a knife broke into their house. “Allahu akbar,” the man yelled as he was arrested by police, the daily Expressen reports.

The incident occurred at 04:30 in the morning in Örby in Älvsjö near Stockholm.

The knife-wielding man smashed several windows in a terraced house and headed for a family with children.

We ran and I took the fire extinguisher and thought I could spray him away. We tried to find out who it was, but then he ran away from the spot, the mother of one of the families tells Expressen.

According to the newspaper, the man entered the fourth house whose window he had broken. He was upstairs, where the children were, when the police stormed the house. He was reportedly very violent and kicked the police when he was arrested. He also shouted “Allahu akbar” when police used pepper spray on him, according to Expressen.

Police have filed a charge of aggravated felony for domestic violence, violence against an officer and vandalism. The man was arrested.

A prosecutor in Turkey on Friday called for up to three years in prison for seven students for allegedly hanging the Rainbow Flag in conjunction with an image of the Kaaba in Mecca, and thereby “inciting hatred”.

By linking Islam’s holiest site with the display of the LGBT movement, Islam is “insulted”, the prosecutor said, according to a report by the official Anadolu news agency.

After the turn of the year, there was a strong protest movement at Bogazici University because President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (67) appointed a new university rector, thus interfering with the traditional autonomy rights of universities. The police stated in early February that they had discovered an image of the Kaaba surrounded by Rainbow flags on the university campus.

Two of the seven students were detained. The scheduled date for the trial is to be announced later. The university’s LGBT club has been forced to close.

It’ s ridiculous: while Erdogan accused the queer movement of not sharing “national values”, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu (51) even declared that LGBT people were “degenerate”.

Homosexuality is not forbidden in Turkey, unlike in many Muslim countries. However, members of the LGBTQ community are still heavily discriminated against in the country.

The Federal Constitutional Court has halted a planned deportation of a drug-addicted Afghan to his home country, stating in its reasoning that it had not been clarified whether a safe arrival was possible and that it was obvious that the man would be dependent on support from relatives for an orderly life. Is this Germany’s problem, what awaits the Afghan in his home country or not?

Before Corona, the economic situation was not very bright in Afghanistan either, which is why mostly young men came/are coming to Germany under the pretence of “asylum”, although the asylum law is not designed to enable these alleged ” persons seeking protection” to live a comfortable life.With this justification by the court, this in principle affects all countries that are economically on a par with Afghanistan, where economic existence is not secured and therefore repatriation is not possible.With this justification by the court, this in principle affects all countries that are economically on a par with Afghanistan, where economic existence is not secured and therefore repatriation is not possible. A very dangerous reasoning, if economic reasons are enough to justify a ban on deportation.

Gambia is torpedoing Germany’s repatriation efforts at various levels. On January 27, the authorities in Banjul thwarted a collective expulsion maneuver organized from the city of Frankfurt.

“On the day of the operation, 22 offenders detained pending deportation were taken to the airport. As Gambia did not give permission to land on its territory, the operation had to be cancelled a few hours before departure,” a spokesperson for the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior told Die Welt – the majority of Gambians forced to leave the country live in Germany. We tried “to contact the Gambian authorities on several occasions to obtain permission to land, without success,” said an official.

Already in October 2020, a charter flight had to be cancelled, as Gambia issued no landing authorization on time, according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Even individual repatriations, carried out on scheduled and therefore particularly expensive flights, are rarely successful. According to a confidential federal police list, 6 569 Gambians forced to leave the country were still living in Germany at the end of 2020. Some 42 were returned to their countries of origin during 2020, and 53 others were deported to countries from the EU where they had already applied for asylum.

Protests and waves of anger are expressed on the internet every time a plane full of returnees lands in the African country. Solidarity with the “backway boys”, as emigrants who pass through the “back door” of the European asylum system are called in Gambia, is strong. No African head of government wins voters by authorizing repatriation.

Gambia is particularly dependent on the money sent by emigrants as these transactions represent around 15 percent of annual economic output. For Gambia specialist Yorck Wurms, these payments are one of the main reasons the country is so reluctant to take back its nationals. “No state takes pleasure in reducing its main source of income,” explained Wurms.

According to the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior, among immigrant asylum seekers, those coming from “Gambia are the first to break the narcotics law and engage in drug trafficking”.

Last year, half of asylum seekers were unable to provide documents to prove their personal information when they entered Germany, the Junge Freiheit reported.

“In 2020, the proportion of first-time asylum applicants aged 18 and over without identity papers was 51.8 percent,” quoted the DPA news agency from the Federal Ministry of the Interior response to the request of the Free Democratic Party (FDP).

Compared to 2019, this is a slight increase. Then, around 49 percent of asylum seekers were unable to provide such documents. When authorities started to record the submission of ID papers in 2017, 61 percent of asylum seekers could only provide verbal information about their identity.

In the past, the federal government had given several reasons for the lack of IDs. It pointed out problems in the reporting system in the countries of origin, loss of documents while fleeing, or the confiscation of ID papers by smugglers. The government also admitted that some asylum seekers destroyed their ID cards because they figured they would then have a better chance of being admitted to Germany.

FDP spokesperson Linda Teuteberg emphasized that the high number of migrants without ID poses major challenges for the authorities, as only people “who need protection from political persecution” are entitled to asylum.

According to the government, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees checked 190,608 documents for authenticity last year. Of this number, the office did not recognize 4,488 ID papers.

In January 2019, it turned out that giving false verbal identity information had no consequences in an asylum seeker’s application process. Only the submission of false or foreign documents is a criminal offense. At the time, the SPD-led Federal Ministry of Justice rejected an attempt by Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) to criminalize false verbal information in the asylum procedure.
