SHAFAQNA- German government has announced harsh measures to curb migration ahead of regional elections next week. Human rights activists slam new plans, warn they will lead to serious human rights violations.
The government has introduced temporary border checks this week at crossings with Poland and the Czech Republic, stopped the voluntary intake of refugees arriving from Italy, and announced plans to tighten deportation laws, making it possible to imprison people accused of illegally entering the country.
Human rights activist Sonkeng Tegouffo pointed out that Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced all these controversial plans ahead of next week’s key regional elections.
