A former IS supporter who spent more than five years in prison for planning terrorist attacks in Germany caused a stir yesterday at the Regensburg Administrative Court. The 36-year-old Abdulhadi B. is fighting against his prison conditions and made an unusual offer to the Free State’s lawyers during a break in the proceedings: “If I go, then voluntarily and only if I get 144,000 euros from you,” he said. The proceedings against Abdulhadi B. started when the judiciary learnt of his terrorist activities after he had stood trial for an attack on his girlfriend. He was finally sentenced to more than five years in prison by the Munich Higher Regional Court in 2018. The charges were publicity for IS, attempted incitement to manslaughter and assault. The Federal Court of Justice confirmed the judgement a year later. In addition that he recruited suicide bombers, he also planned an explosives attack and the recruitment of a seven-year-old boy as a child soldier.
Abdulhadi B. is now defending himself in court against the conditions imposed on him, including not leaving Tirschenreuth and not using any internet-enabled devices. He argues that he was wrongly convicted and is demanding compensation for his time in prison. The Syrian sees himself as a victim and is prepared to leave Germany if he receives the sum demanded. A decision on his claim has not yet been made and his efforts in court have so far been unsuccessful. Deportation to Syria is out of the question for the German authorities due to the ongoing conflicts and the insecure situation in the country.
René Dierkes, legal policy spokesperson for the AfD, comments negatively on the case: “This case clearly shows why the deportation policy of the traditional parties is failing. The Syrian terrorist, who seems to be quite sure of his ideology, is confronted with a completely effeminate state that even allows the debate about terror alimentation to take place in court. These embarrassments must be stopped”. With a ” reasonable remigration policy”, this person would never have arrived in Germany or would have been “immediately remigrated”, Dierkes told FREILICH magazine.
