no surprises here: a Berlin court has confirmed that the "political activity ban" on Ghassan Abu-Sittah 1,5years ago was against the law – I remember being on a train to Berlin when those news broke; infuriating like almost every encounter with the city in the last two years
Laut Urteil hätte die Ausländerbehörde dem Chirurgen Ghassan Abu-Sittah die Einreise nicht verbieten dürfen.
Wie zu Erwarten stellt das OVG Urteil eine Verletzung der Meinungsfreiheit- und Versammlungsfreiheit fest.
Wird dafür jemand zur Verantwortung gezogen @kaiwegner.bsky.social?
