Between January this year and the end of next year, 79 Islamists are expected to be released from German prisons. Among them are 34 accused and convicted of terrorist and other Islamist offences as well as 45 accused and convicted of other offences who are considered or suspected to be Islamists. This is the result of an official answer by the federal government to a parliamentary question by the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Parliament, as reported in the Wednesday edition of the newspaper “Die Welt”.
Among the released prisoners are also IS fighters. According to the Federal Government, at the beginning of this year there were twelve persons imprisoned in Germany who had taken part in fighting operations of the Islamic State (IS), had been trained in handling weapons, had carried out or prepared attacks for the IS or had been trained in handling explosives. Of these, two persons have been released from prison since January 1, 2022 after serving their sentences, and a further three persons from this group are expected to be released by December 31, 2023.
The answer to the minor question further reveals that twelve persons from the Islamist spectrum have been deported to their country of origin since the beginning of this year. The domestic policy spokesman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Alexander Throm, told Die Welt: “We call on the federal government to take immediate measures to control Islamist hazards as well as possible after their release from prison.” The imminent releases posed a “not inconsiderable security risk”, the CDU politician continued.
“Against these ticking time bombs, the governing coalition must also introduce subsequent preventive detention for offenders who have become further radicalised during their time in prison.” CDU interior politician Throm further demanded: “In addition, the instrument of preventive detention must be extended in time to a maximum duration of one month with the possibility of extension to two months.”
