Nach Recherchen zum Klaasohm-Fest Ab jetzt Party ohne Prügel – #polizeiproblem #LockThemUp

Künftig wird beim Borkumer Fest auf das Schlagen von Frauen verzichtet. Die Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt nun gegen einen Täter und gegen die Polizei. Er gilt als höchster Feiertag auf Borkum: Seit über einem Jahrhundert wird das Klaasohm-Fest am 5. Dezember gefeiert. An diesem Tag verkleiden sich sieben Männer als winterliche Fabelwesen, geschmückt mit Tierpelzen und Möwenfedern. Ihr Ziel: Frauen mit Kuhhörnern auf den Po hauen. Abends versammeln sich Tausende in der Innenstadt, kehren in Kneipen ein und treffen sich nach der Frauenjagd um der Litfaßsäule im Ortskern. (…) Doch in diesem Jahr wird das Fest etwas anders ausfallen. Nach NDR-Recherchen und bundesweiter Empörung gelobt der veranstaltende Verein, Borkumer Jungens (VBJ), die Gewalt gegen Frauen nun zu unterlassen. „Wir als Gemeinschaft haben uns klar dazu entschieden, diesen Aspekt der Tradition hinter uns zu lassen.“ Man wolle sich nun auf das festlegen, was das Fest wirklich ausmacht: „den Zusammenhalt der Insulanerinnen und Insulaner“, teilte der Verein mit (…) Jetzt hat das Ganze auch juristische Konsequenzen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft Aurich teilte der taz auf Anfrage mit, nun in einem „Verfahren gegen unbekannte Täterschaft im Zusammenhang mit dem VBJ wegen des Verdachts der gefährlichen Körperverletzung“ zu ermitteln.Eigentlich müssen Behörden und Beamte des Polizeidienstes Straftaten ermitteln, dafür braucht es auch keine Anzeigen von mutmaßlichen Opfern. Die Polizei Borkum muss von Amts wegen ermitteln, weil das Schlagen mit dem Kuhhorn als Traditionspraxis der Polizeistation auf der Insel wohl bekannt ist. Falls die Polizei nicht ermittelt, stellt es nach Paragraf 258 StGB eine Strafvereitelung – nach Paragraf 258 a gar eine Strafvereitelung im Amt – dar. Die Freiheitsstrafe dafür beläuft sich auf sechs Monate bis zu fünf Jahren. Da die Schläge mit einer Waffe – dem Kuhhorn – besonders starke Verletzungen verursachen können, ist diese Praxis, eine schwere Körperverletzung, die erst nach 20 bis 30 Jahren verjährt. Die Polizei auf Borkum muss also alle Klaasohm-Feste der vergangenen Jahrzehnte aufarbeiten, was für die kleine Inselpolizei, die der Polizei Leer/Emden unterstellt ist, eine Mammutaufgabe wird. Ein Verfahren gegen den Bürgermeister, Jürgen Akkermann (parteilos), ebenfalls wegen Strafvereitelung im Amt, werde noch geprüft

Hungarian CIA reportedly spied on EU officials

Officials from EU anti-fraud office were allegedly followed, wiretapped and had their laptops hacked by Hungary’s intelligence agency. Hungary’s intelligence agency spied on EU officials visiting the country, searching their hotel rooms and recording their phone conversations, according to a bombshell report. A joint investigation by Direkt36 and De Tijd found Hungary’s Information Office (IH), Budapest’s equivalent of the CIA, targeted investigators at the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), which at one point was looking into a Hungarian company owned by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law. The report by Hungarian investigative media center Direkt36 and Belgian newspaper De Tijd cited examples between 2015 and 2017 in which EU officials working for OLAF who had traveled to Hungary were physically followed during car journeys and had their phones tapped.

Neo-Nazi street attacks are making a comeback in Russia. Experts link it to 2000s nostalgia, Internet clout culture, and the war – #terror

A dark trend has returned to Russia: far-right nationalists sharing videos of brutal attacks on ethnic minorities and other “outsiders.” Each month, at least about 100 new clips of violence against migrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia, LGBTQ+ people, and homeless people appear online. According to experts interviewed by the RFE/RL project Kavkaz.Realii, this revival of neo-Nazi and skinhead culture goes hand in hand with the Russian authorities’ ubiquitous wartime propaganda. Meduza shares an abridged translation of the outlet’s reporting. The video starts with the victim already sitting on the ground, and the attackers surrounding him and kicking him. Then the victim manages to get up and starts running away, but the attackers knock him down again and continue kicking. Five people take part in the beating, including the cameraman. The victim is a large middle-aged man. His face isn’t shown. The description refers to him as a ‘khach’ [a slur for people from the Caucasus]. The video is being spread by the gang White Boys Nevograd. This description is from a post by the Telegram channel Nazi Video Monitoring Project, which tracks online clips of racist violence in Russia. The post is referring to a video published on November 26 that shows an attack that presumably took place in St. Petersburg. The monitoring channel doesn’t share the video itself, but it does post screenshots showing a man being beaten in the snow. “If you know the identity of the attackers or the victim, recognize the location of the crime, or have any other information about this incident, please let us know,” the channel wrote. (…) At the same time, even as law enforcement cracks down on radical groups, legal nationalist organizations have gained more visibility. The most prominent among them is the group Russian Community, which enjoys public support from Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin as well as other influential politicians and officials. “The violent videos are generally made by teenagers, usually between 14 and 20 years old,” Sergeev explained. “Meanwhile, most members of Russian Community are middle-aged people who are dissatisfied with their lives. But there are some examples of interaction: in Nizhny Novgorod, the local branch of Russian Community tried to form a youth division out of young neo-Nazis. In Chelyabinsk, the Russian Community took the neo-Nazi teenagers who had started a violent riot at Educational Center No. 5 under its wing. In far-right chat groups, people say that Russian Community’s resources should be used for training, as the organization provides shooting ranges and halls for hand-to-hand combat,” Sergeev said.

Neo-Nazi killer Anders #Breivik who applied for parole just 13 years after island #massacre left 77 dead WILL remain behind bars – despite court noting ‘positive’ changes – #terror

A neo-Nazi killer who applied for parole just 13 years after killing 77 people in twin attacks will remain behind bars, despite the court noting positive changes.    A Norwegian court Wednesday rejected parole for the right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, 45, with his lawyer claiming it was ‘not a surprise’.    Oystein Storrvik said the decision to reject conditional freedom for Breivik was a predictable outcome, regardless of the fact the court did recognise ‘positive evolutions’ for his client. On July 22, 2011, Breivik set off a truck bomb near government offices in Oslo, killing eight people, before heading to the island of Utoya.  There, disguised as a police officer, he shot dead 69 people, mostly teens, attending a Labour Party youth-wing summer camp. He said he had killed his victims because they embraced multiculturalism.    Breivik was sentenced in 2012 to 21 years in prison, which at the time was Norway’s harshest sentence.  But the sentence can be extended as long as he is considered a threat to society.

Court dismisses #terrorism charges in #Kankanpää neo-Nazi trial

The defendants were convicted of a slew of other crimes, including assault, making unlawful threats, receiving stolen goods, as well as firearms and explosives offences. Satakunta District Court has found two men not guilty of committing terrorist offences in relation to the activities of a far-right group in the small town of Kankanpää, in southwest Finland. The five defendants in the case faced a total of 27 charges, with two of the suspects also charged with committing the crimes with a terrorist intent. An Yle investigation into the gang’s activities revealed an extensive list of suspected crimes committed by its members, as they were known to harass, intimidate and even violently attack people in the town over the course of a number of years. Many of their victims were from minority backgrounds, police said, as the group were influenced by racist and neo-Nazi ideology. The case also marked the first time terror charges were ever filed against a far-right group in Finland. (…) One of the men was convicted of an offence involving explosives, although the original charge — of an explosives offence committed with terrorist intent — was dropped. He was also found guilty of assault, making unlawful threats, receiving stolen goods, a firearms offence, and aggravated assault. The court sentenced him to one year and four months in prison. The second of the two main defendants was also found guilty of a slew of charges, and he was also handed a prison sentence of one year and four months. He was found guilty of offences including receiving stolen goods, a firearms offence, an explosives offence, assault, and aggravated assault.

AfD-Fraktionschef beschäftigt Rechtsextremisten Fiß

Der 32-Jährige arbeitet im Landtag als persönlicher Referent Kramers. von Stefan Ludmann Seit dem 1. Dezember steht Fiß auf der Gehaltsliste der AfD-Fraktion, die ihr Geld vom Steuerzahler bekommt. Fiß stammt aus dem rechtsextremen Milieu. Der gebürtige Rostocker war in der Jugendorganisation der ehemaligen NPD aktiv. Als zweiter Bundesvorsitzender der rechtsextremen Identitären Bewegung (IB) spielte er mehrmals im Verfassungsschutzbericht des Landes eine Rolle. Fiß wurde dort als völkischer Nationalist beschrieben, der Einwanderern die Menschenwürde abspricht. AfD-Fraktionschef Kramer sagte, er schätze Fiß wegen seiner politischen Analysen, er habe ein gutes Vertrauensverhältnis zu ihm. Zu dessen Aufgaben zählten etwa die Betreuung seiner Social-Media-Kanäle oder die Vor- und Nachbereitung der Landtagssitzungen, so Kramer. Die Fraktion habe der Beschäftigung zugestimmt. Bei dem Beschluss habe es wegen der Vergangenheit des Kandidaten aber auch Enthaltungen gegeben. Fiß’ Führungszeugnis, darauf legte Kramer wert, weise keine Eintragungen auf. Fiß als Chefredakteur der Postille “Heimatkurier” tätig Kramer sagte, Fiß habe sich von seinen früheren Aktivitäten distanziert. Allerdings fungiert sein neuer Referent weiter als Chefredakteur der rechtsextremen Postille “Heimatkurier” aus Österreich. In der werden typische völkische Denkmuster wie “Bevölkerungsaustausch” oder “Remigration” bedient. Nach österreichischen Medienberichten hat die Redaktion ihren Sitz in einem Haus, das von den “Identitären” genutzt wird.
