Germany's migration policy increasingly relies on detention and deportation, as seen in the case of 21-year-old Syrian asylum seeker Ali Shreteh, who spent 37 days in deportation detention before being sent to Croatia. Despite legal principles stating that detention should be a last resort, the number of detained asylum seekers has risen significantly, fueled by legal tightening, raising concerns about human rights violations and the political push for stricter deportation measures. read more

Am 27. Januar vor genau 80 Jahren haben Soldaten der Roten Armee die Gefangenen im Konzentrationslager von Auschwitz befreit, wo mehr als eine Million Menschen von den Nazis ermordet wurden. In Erinnerung an diese und weitere Opfer des Faschismus gelobten die Väter und Mütter des Grundgesetzes: Nie wieder soll die staatliche Gewalt in Deutschland Menschen ihrer Würde berauben. Und nie wieder sollen diejenigen, die aus ihrem Land flüchten müssen, vor verschlossenen Grenzen stehen. Aus Anlass des Holocaust-Gedenktags, der als Tag der Befreiung begangen wird, appelliert der Flüchtlingsrat Niedersachsen an die politischen Parteien, diese Lehren auch in der aktuellen politischen Praxis hochzuhalten: Das Versprechen auf Schutz vor Verfolgung, das Recht auf ein individuelles Asylverfahren und das Versprechen auf Rechtsstaatlichkeit – auch im Umgang mit Nichtdeutschen – drohen in der politischen Debatte mehr und mehr in Vergessenheit zu geraten. read more
