The Italian government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is pushing for a security law that drastically increases the penalties for so-called unauthorized demonstrations, thereby severely restricting the right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression. The law, which has already been approved by the Chamber of Deputies, is facing criticism from international organizations and human rights observers due to its potential violations of fundamental human rights and international agreements. read more

In 2024, attacks on asylum-seeker accommodation in Germany increased, with 218 politically motivated incidents, including 28 violent crimes, and 14 injuries, reflecting a rise in far-right extremism. Despite a decrease in attacks against migrants outside accommodation, hate crimes, particularly targeting mosques, and right-wing extremist crimes have also surged, with an overall increase in crimes of an extreme right-wing nature by 17%. read more

Last Tuesday (28 January), as Giorgia Meloni’s government resumed its attempts to force people seeking safety and a better life in Europe into prison camps in Albania, electricity broke down in the port of Shengjin. As port staff struggled to get the lights back on, officials realised that among the people they were incarcerating were four children. They had to be taken to Italy — now the third time this has happened. The camps have sat empty since they were opened, home only to stray dogs. read more

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
