In Germany, a teenager who shot dead a police officer after firing at him multiple times has been acquitted of murder and will avoid prison — after telling a court he was often in a “bad mood” due to a lack of prospects. The Saarbrücken Regional Court ruled that the 19-year-old gunman, Ahmet Gürsel, bore diminished responsibility at the time of the killing of Police Chief Inspector Simon Bohr, 34, and instead convicted him only of aggravated robbery, ordering his placement in a secure psychiatric facility. The shooting took place in August 2025 in Völklingen, Saarland, after the defendant carried...

DEI policies now require that four in ten interview candidates for judgeships or prosecutor positions in Berlin have a migrant background. The justice system in the German capital has been radically transformed by the far-left policies pushed by the Green Party, which imposed a rule mandating that prospective judges and prosecutors in the city reflect the exact ethnic makeup of the city, rather than being determined by merit, Bild reported. The “Law to Promote Participation in a Migration Society” was passed by the Berlin city parliament in July of 2021, when it was under the control of a “red-green-red” majority...

It wasn’t long ago that Christmas markets were among the social highlights of the year. Whether in small towns or major cities -- they were meeting points for friends and family, for mulled wine, sausages, and quiet conversations wrapped in winter’s cold and early darkness. Places of TogethernessThere was this special peaceful coziness. A place where community was celebrated -- joyful,...

“When I think about the trip today, I wouldn’t do it again – it was so dangerous. What I remember is that many people died, they drowned … there were too many people on that boat.” Anas Modamani, who as a teenager fled Syria’s brutal civil war for the safety of Europe in 2015, is one of many who ended up in Germany, where he still lives and now holds a passport. Sitting in a Syrian cafe in Neukölln, a culturally diverse district of the German capital, Modamani is smiling and well-groomed. He works in IT and in his own...

Göttingen public prosecutor’s office said on Friday that it has detained a 31-year-old man from Iraq on suspicion of pushing a 16-year-old girl onto the train tracks and fatally injuring her. The Iraqi national’s DNA was later found on the deceased girl’s shoulder. Police had interviewed the man shortly after the girl’s tragic death, after which he denied involvement and tested positive for alcohol consumption. According to prosecutors, the suspect had initially come into contact with police in 2022 when he applied for asylum in Germany. However, the request was denied in December of that year and a deportation order...

A decade ago today, on 31 August 2015, Angela Merkel made the unilateral decision to open Europe’s borders. The rallying cry of the German Chancellor has gone down in history: ‘Wir schaffen das’ – ‘We can do this’. If we can’t, she added, ‘if Europe fails on the question of refugees, then it won’t be the Europe we wished for’. Merkel was motivated by conflict in the Middle East, notably in Syria and Iraq, but her invitation to seek refuge in Europe was seized on by many others. Of the estimated 1.3 million people who flooded into Europe in 2015,...
