Moscow reacts to Germany’s arrest of couple for ‘illegal’ RT broadcasts

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted the arrest coincided with the International Day for Universal Access to Information

Berlin has apparently opted to celebrate the International Day for Universal Access to Information with arrests, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said, after a couple in Germany was taken into custody on suspicion of broadcasting RT and other Russian TV channels via the internet.

Almost all Russian media organizations were banned in the EU in March 2022 after the conflict between Moscow and Kiev broke out.

The couple was arrested last week on the eve of the International Day for Universal Access to Information, marked annually on September 28. Speaking during a press conference at the UN on Saturday, Lavrov suggested the arrest was a questionable way to celebrate the occasion.

“I would like to speak of how this day is celebrated in Germany. It has been reported that a married couple has been arrested in Germany, they are suspected of organizing the broadcast of several Russian television channels on the internet,” Russia’s top diplomat stated.

According to German authorities, the couple has been offering “several sanctioned Russian TV channels to their customers via an IP-TV service since at least the beginning of 2022.” Police in the city of Karlsruhe raided the couple’s apartment, seizing “extensive technical equipment, written evidence and 40,000 euros ($44,686) in cash.”

A district court has also issued an asset seizure order against the couple for some €120,000 ($134,000) in “illegal income” from the alleged activity. The two are now facing at least one year in prison, should they be found guilty of violating the Foreign Trade Act. The investigation is still ongoing and additional charges could potentially be brought against them.

German Chancellor candidate promises to deport criminal refugees to Afghanistan and Syria

Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and candidate for Chancellor of Germany, has called for fundamental changes in Germany’s immigration and asylum policies. He emphasized that deporting criminals from Syria and Afghanistan should be prioritized, even amid instability in these countries.

In an interview with the German news agency, Merz stated, “We know that Syria and Afghanistan remain highly unstable. However, we in the party have long believed that deportations to these countries are fundamentally possible and necessary. We will do this.” His remarks highlight his strong stance on tackling immigration issues.

Merz also stressed the need for reforms in Germany’s asylum and immigration policies. He promised significant changes in these areas if he were to win the upcoming election. His focus would be on creating a more controlled and sustainable immigration system.

According to Germany’s Interior Ministry, approximately 975,000 Syrians currently live in Germany. Most arrived after the Syrian civil war began in 2015, with over 300,000 receiving “subsidiary protection” due to the ongoing conflict.

Merz is a proponent of labor migration and opposes the current asylum system. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between asylum seekers and labor migrants. He argued that Germany has already provided significant support to refugees, but the number of asylum seekers has become unsustainable, and the capacity of cities and communities is reaching its limit.

To address labor migration, Merz’s party has proposed creating a digital agency called “Work and Residency” to streamline and regulate the process of labor migration separately from asylum applications.

The ongoing refugee crisis in Germany has sparked intense debate about the future of asylum policies. Merz’s calls for reform reflect a growing concern over the social and economic impact of large numbers of refugees on Germany’s infrastructure and public services.

As European countries, particularly Germany, continue to struggle with managing refugee influxes, a more streamlined and controlled approach to immigration may be necessary. However, this must be balanced with a humanitarian approach that protects the rights and dignity of refugees fleeing war and persecution. The challenge lies in finding a solution that is both sustainable and compassionate.
