Urgent Call to Address Security Threat

Published: 2024-07-23

In Apolda, Germany, local officials are raising alarms over a rejected asylum seeker who poses a significant security risk due to his extensive criminal record.

The man, originally from Morocco, has been linked to numerous offenses, including drug-related crimes and assault, leading to multiple incarcerations.

Despite efforts by Thüringen's Interior Minister Georg Maier to expedite his deportation, the process is stalled as Morocco refuses to issue a passport necessary for the removal.

Local leaders, including Landrätin Christine Schmidt-Rose and Mayor Olaf Müller, have sent an urgent plea to the state government, emphasizing the growing unrest among residents.

They demand immediate action to address the situation, fearing for the safety and social peace in their community.
