It is utterly shameful for Germany to be doing shit like this. Disgraceful.
Such a disgrace for our country, its news like these where Luxemburg’s “socialism or barbarism” is really obvious
Hard agree!
From what I read online, it seems that they may have partaken in criminal offenses (read something about storming a building with improvised weapons), but deporting someone before their trial is due and they have been convicted, is not how it should work in a supposedly-civilised country!
Exactly. IMHO they should not be deported at all, but brought before a judge and, if breaking of law is confirmed, put into jail like any other person, deporting someone to a place where they get starved, shot or lynched should not be permitted in a civilized nation, but deported without a trial? This is just plainy not a fair democracy in any kind of sense, not even a rightwing one. This is Willkür
Soft Paywall.
Is this protestors who are on tourist, student and temporary visas?
EDIT: They are not citizens. Paywall bypass..
I don’t think it is that simple. If we allow these people free speech then we risk setting a precedent for outsiders coming to Germany to support Far-Right rallies. Laws are double-edged.
When I travel to Asian countries I am warned in my Visa application to not participate in any political activity. I take risks anyhow but have been lucky.
“we should adopt far right laws before the far right has the chance to do so”
So we better repress all political activism because it might be far right? The far right would applaud this concept and wouldn’t need outside supporters if you fight for their cause.
EDIT: Also most palestians living here can’t become a permant resident because they would need certification from their state but Germany doesn’t recognize their state as one.
Protests by non-citizens is what I wrote.
Yeah and thats what i meant.
I didnt assume you want to prevent ALL protest. This would be literally one of the worst dictatorships in existens, few of them actually forbid all and every protest.
Trying to exclude people without papers from democracy while not giving those people a fair chance to get papers is still the closest thing to racial segregation the international court allows
Oh wait, international law art.20 Nr. 1 actually sets protests as a universal human right.
Which international law is that?
Do you mean the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Article 20 says:
1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.
2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.
Help a tired brain out. Are you making the stupid argument that pro-Palestine advocacy is incitement to discrimination and hatred and war propaganda for Hamas?
That was article 20. The other commenter said article 20 but didn’t say which international law.
Universal declaration of human rights:
"Article 20
Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. "
This in combination with art. 19 gives us the right to protest:
"Article 19
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
"

TIL “US constitution guarantees the right to free speech to everyone in the US despite your citizen status” https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0415/1507664-j1-activism/
Not that the constitution matters to MAGA.
Does Germany have a similar section of their constitution?
Thanks
Ah, whoops. I block JS and didn’t notice that. Here’s an archive. I did a quick search and didn’t see any articles that mention what kind of visas they have.
