Frankfurt (dpa / lhe) - The criminal police in Frankfurt have started investigations into possible death threats against politicians on the left.

According to the Left, a local election candidate received death threats and pictures of beheaded Kurds on social media.

The repression is directed against those who are in turn committed against repression in Turkey.

There are always death threats from ultra-right circles against people who campaign for refugees and against racism, said the party's district association.

The facts are known.

A police spokesman said on Friday that the investigation will be carried out against unknown persons.
