Masked demonstrators entered the university building and threatened workers. due to pro-Palestinian action, 4 people, including Polka, must leave Germany.

Three citizens of the European Union, including Polka, and the American must leave Germany after they participated in pro-Palestinian protests in Berlin. The Immigration Office in the German capital (LEA) issued in March this year "notices about the termination of its stay in connection with incidents at the Free University of Berlin on 17.10.2024" – informed the Ministry of the Interior of Berlin.

This is about 2 people from Ireland, Poland and the United States citizen. They challenged the decision of the capital authorities to the Berlin administrative court. They applied for an accelerated procedure. “Until the application is resolved, they do not gotta leave the country,” explained the court spokesman.

"Major material damage"

The Berlin Home Office justifies the decision with incidents at the Free University last October. Then masked persons entered the university building and threatened workers with axe, saws, crowbars, and bats. The university estimates harm to over 100 1000 euros.

"Ready for force and masked group of people" has caused "significant material damage", besides by "graffits relating to Israeli-Palestinian issues" and another criminal acts," informs the Berlin Ministry. Criminal proceedings are pending.

Lawyer: "disturbing"

The Berlin diary "Tagespiegel" quotes Alexander Gorski, a lawyer of 2 reasons. According to him, criminal investigations are being conducted against 4 people, but without convictions, in 1 case, acquittal was pronounced. Gorski described the actions of the Berlin authorities as ‘legally alarming’.

The Berlin MMA besides cites "the threat posed by the person, his social, professional and cultural integration, as well as the intent of his stay and the duration of his stay".

The decision to apply the measures provided for in immigration law shall be taken on a case-by-case basis. If there are convictions, they will be taken into account, but "they are not a prerequisite for the decision taken," inform the Berlin authorities.

Mayor: ‘Right and Necessary’

Berlin-run mayor Kai Wegner believes that the failure of the right to reside freely for perpetrators is "right and necessary," said the paper "Die Welt". Berlin's legislature position is clear.

"Anyone who questions Israel's right to be or glorifies anti-Semitic force crosses the red line," said chadek.

Some politicians, however, criticise this approach. A MP to the Bundestag Clara Bünger of the Left organization stated that "under Kai Wegner's leadership, the Land of Berlin attacks freedom of assembly and freedom of view," she said in an interview with "Die Welt".
