GERMANY: Swapping One War Zone for Another: the Refugee Situation in Oranienplatz

"The eviction of Gurtelstrasse and the Mariensfelde hostel appear to violate the Ministry of the Interior's own guidelines for handling deportations. The Bundesministerium’s website states: 'Asylum seekers are notified of the decision in writing and given information on legal remedy.' There’s no mention of same-day evictions being executed by armoured police carrying deportation orders. It seemed like this was a stealth attack, calculated to get the refugees as far away from the public consciousness as possible, as quickly as possible, without any opportunity for the decision to be appealed or the tactics questioned."
