Germany: More than 30 jihadis set to be released from prison

What could possibly go wrong, you greasy Islamophobe? Celebrate diversity!

“More than 30 Islamists are about to be released in Germany,” translated from “Mehr als 30 Islamisten stehen in Deutschland vor der Freilassung,” by Ibrahim Naber, Welt, January 15, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):

In the coming months, an exceptionally high number of criminals who are being held in German prisons for crimes related to Islamist-motivated terrorism will be released. This worries security authorities.

German authorities are preparing for the release of more than 30 Islamists this year. Specifically, the Federal Ministry of Justice has knowledge of “15 to 20 people” who are currently in a German prison for an act in the area of ​​Islamist-motivated terrorism and are expected to be released in 2022. This was announced by a spokeswoman at the request of WELT AM SONNTAG.

In addition, there are 18 other people from the “area of Islamism or suspicion of Islamism” who are currently under special surveillance by the law enforcement authorities and are also to be released this year. The releases of extremists are often a concern for security authorities. Some inmates have become further radicalized behind bars – and strike shortly after the end of their incarceration.

The Ministry of Justice does not yet have an overview of right-wing and left-wing extremists who are about to be released. In the past few years, only the numbers of affected Islamists behind bars have been statistically recorded, the spokeswoman said. However, an expanded questionnaire on the numbers from right-wing and left-wing extremism was sent to the federal states in November 2021. Results should be available soon.
