Germany Toughens Deportation¹ Laws After Cologne Attacks 德国科隆袭击后加强驱逐出境法律

LONDON—

Germany has outlined plans to tighten² deportation laws for foreigners in the wake of the series of attacks on hundreds of women in Cologne and other cities on New Year’s Eve. Police say the attacks appear to have been carried out by groups of young migrant men. Nineteen suspects have so far been identified, all of them migrants. There have been several revenge attacks against foreigners in Cologne. 

Far right supporters and football hooligans smashed shop windows and damaged cars in the eastern city of Leipzig in the early hours of Tuesday.

周二凌晨东部城市莱比锡的极右支持者及足球流氓砸坏商店橱窗的玻璃,破坏汽车。

Tougher deportation laws

The rampage began around the same time that 2,000 supporters of the anti-Islamic PEGIDA movement demonstrated nearby, carrying signs with slogans like "Freedom for Germany."Olaf Spermer was among the protesters.

Spermer said what has really annoyed them in recent months is the whole situation regarding foreigners and how things have been handled. He said he's not alone in how he feels and that many people think things will end in a very bad way.

这次破坏行动大约是在同一时间开始,当时2000名反对西方伊斯兰化排外运动的支持者们手持“为了德国自由”的标语进行游行示威。

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas Tuesday outlined tougher deportation laws for anyone convicted of certain crimes, including sexual assault.

Criminal complaints

Police have recorded more than 500 criminal complaints from New Year's Eve, almost half of which involved sexual assault.Andrea Mammone, an expert of the European far right at Royal Holloway, University of London, said anti-immigrant groups are exploiting the attacks for political gain by... “...trying to spread this message that ‘we told you.

警方在新年前夜已收到超过500起犯罪投诉,几乎一半都是性侵犯。

’We told you that it was unacceptable to have these people,” Mammone said. “We told you that it was a danger to have these people. We told you they were coming from different traditions, different cultures, and they couldn’t understand our values.”

“试图传播我们告诉你的这个消息。因此我们告诉你的是这些人的存在不能被接受。我们要告诉你,让这些人存在会很危险。我们要告诉你的是,他们来自不同的传统,不同的文化,他们无法理解我们的价值观。”

In a series of revenge attacks on foreigners in Cologne, six Pakistanis, two Syrians and three men from Guinea were injured.

德国总理安格拉·默克尔为自己接受超过100万名的难民政策进行辩护。

She said Germans know that since the terrible events of that night in Cologne, for integration⁴ to work, society needs to be open; but, she said, the refugees also need to be willing to follow the country's rules and values.

我们都知道，自从科隆那天晚上发生恐怖事件以来，在同化工作方面我们需要开放社会，但难民们也需要遵守我们的法律法规及价值观。
