City enforce stance on Muslim protest from last weekend
In recent times, rumours have circulated on social media and local forums about a potential ban on Muslim demonstrations in the German city of Pforzheim in 2021. However, these rumours appear to be unfounded.
Last Saturday, a demonstration was held in Pforzheim to celebrate the religious event "Ashura," which commemorates the martyrdom of Husain ibn Ali, killed in the Battle of Karbala in 680. The demonstration, which took place on July 27, saw approximately 400 people march from St.-Maur Hall to the market square in a registered demonstration.
Contrary to the rumours, there is no evidence to suggest that the city of Pforzheim or the top police authority ever considered banning this demonstration. The constitutional right to assembly was exercised during the event, and assemblies in Germany only need to be reported to the authority and can be held without official approval.
The specific source of these false rumours is not specified in the article. However, it's worth noting that claims like these sometimes arise on social media or local discussions but tend to be debunked or lack official confirmation.
It's also important to clarify that the city of Pforzheim does not make decisions based on threats but on law and order. There is no record of any "coalition of Muslims" in the city threatening to take action if the demonstration did not take place.
During the demonstration, the public order office was in close contact and exchange with the police and the organizer to ensure public order. Wearing black clothing during assemblies is generally prohibited, but this does not apply to religious events. A traditional veil is not automatically considered a disguise at assemblies.
In light of the above, it's advisable for those seeking a definitive answer to consult local Pforzheim news archives or official statements from the city authorities or police around 2021, as these would be the most reliable sources to confirm or refute such a claim.
