Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg's Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) has defended in the Brandenburg state parliament that the general ban on deportations to Syria expires at the end of the year.
"In the state of Brandenburg there is a Syrian who is classified as a threat and eleven offenders, four of whom are in custody," Stübgen reported on Thursday in the state parliament's question time.
He therefore welcomed the decision by the Conference of Interior Ministers last week not to extend the general ban on deportations to Syria.
Instead, each case must now be considered individually, explained Stübgen. The minister emphasized that expulsion could be an effective means of those Syrians who had committed serious crimes in Germany or those who were feared by the constitutional protection authorities. "The decision of the Conference of Interior Ministers is the right signal to those who do not recognize our legal system and massively abuse our guest status."
