A Berlin court ruled that the German government's recent policy of rejecting asylum seekers at the border without following EU's Dublin Regulation is illegal. This policy, introduced by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, aimed to deter irregular migration while responding to a rise in far-right sentiments. In a separate study, civil liberties in Germany were found to be increasingly under pressure, with concerns over the respect for fundamental rights and a noted increase in restrictions during peaceful protests.
The new border rules were introduced by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt in early May, but a court in Berlin ruled that asylum seekers cannot be sent back to Poland without proper checks under the Dublin Regulation.
The court's ruling emphasizes that German authorities cannot bypass EU laws regarding asylum seekers, highlighting the risks of national policy changes impacting human rights.
