Η αίτηση απευθύνεται σε: German Bundestag & Senate of Berlin

The Berlin senate is trying to deport four people without any criminal convictions: Cooper (USA), Shane (Ireland), Roberta (Ireland) and Kasia (Poland); in disregard of the separation of powers in Germany. In the deportation notices, their activism in favor of Palestinian human rights is said to be in conflict with the legally untenable term “Staatsräson” which legal experts have classified as a problematic grounds for deportation.
 
If the senate’s plans are carried out, this would set a precedent for the use of deportation as a means of repressing protest in Germany, effectively uprooting the base of democracy and making way for further dismantling of the division of powers. 

If we succeed in collecting 30,000 signatures, openPetition will request statements from members of the German Bundestag and thus increase the pressure on politicians to take action.
 
We sign this petition to prevent an anti-democratic precedent. 

We demand that the Deutscher Bundestag:
 

1. immediately stop the politically motivated deportation plans against the four activists.
2. assure that there will be no further attempts to dissolve fundamental democratic rights in the future.
3. to hold the Berlin Senate accountable for endangering fundamental democratic principles and its authoritarian tendencies in dealing with protest.
