Somali Asylum Saga: CSU Leadership Questions Pro Asyl's Role, Group Denies Charges
CSU alleges Pro Asyl of orchestrating refugee incidents
In the ongoing saga of the three Somali asylum seekers, CSU's parliamentary group leaders have raised eyebrows with their accusations. Alexander Hoffmann, the new head of the CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, has leveled serious allegations against refugee aid organizations, including Pro Asyl.
The Berlin Administrative Court's ruling on the Somali asylum seekers' case has sparked debate, with Hoffmann suggesting inconsistencies and potential aid from German helpers before their entry. In response, Pro Asyl strongly denies these accusations.
Hoffmann pointed out the "almost absurd aspects" of the case, suggesting a possible "staging" by asylum activists. He noted that a legal-aged individual magically transformed into a minor during their third entry, with ID documents that appeared forged. All three asylum seekers were found in possession of brand new phones, making their travel route impossible to trace. Hoffmann believes these signs indicate a staging by asylum activists.
Meanwhile, Pro Asyl's managing director, Karl Kopp, vehemently dismissed these accusations. Pro Asyl, being a human rights organization, supports refugees in court, explaining their involvement in the Somali asylum seekers' case. Advising individuals to discard their IDs or purchase new phones are, according to Kopp, false allegations that attack their work.
The Berlin Administrative Court ruled in an urgent decision on Monday that the return of the Somali asylum seekers at a border control in Frankfurt (Oder) was unlawful. The ruling highlights the importance of clarifying the EU country responsible for an asylum application before any rejection. Despite the court ruling, the Somali asylum seekers have returned to Berlin, as confirmed by a spokesman for the Senate Administration for the Interior.
