Steffan Nethe wrote that ten years after the death of Maria Ladenburger, the case still leaves him speechless. Ladenburger was raped and murdered in October 2016 at the age of 19 while on her way home from a student party in Freiburg. Her murderer, Hussein Khavari, had come to Germany as a refugee and had previously been convicted in Greece for a serious violent crime, Nethe wrote. As the father of a daughter, he can hardly imagine that his own child would not come home because a person with a serious criminal record strikes again, Nethe explained. The protection of the population must take priority. He demanded secure borders, consistent identity checks, and clear entry rules, as well as lawful asylum procedures for refugees seeking protection and regulated access for skilled workers. Criminal offenders, people unwilling to integrate, and those without residency rights must be consistently deported, he wrote. Nethe also criticized that failures of authorities must not be tolerated when people are exposed to avoidable dangers as a result. Ladenburger would be 29 years old today; perhaps she would have started a family or become a doctor, he wrote. She must not be forgotten, Nethe added. #Gedenken #Sicherheit #Asylpolitik (translated)
