Unusual images at the Jungfernstieg: On Saturday, people protested there in prisoner clothing and with their hands tied. The action was meant to draw attention to the Uyghurs in re-education camps in China. Behind the demo organisers is “Muslim Interaktiv” – a group that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has under surveillance.
Around 140 people gathered for the protest at Jungfernstieg at noon on Saturday. The organisers had called for the demonstration under the slogan “China, Olympics, Uyghurs” to draw attention to the situation of Muslim Uyghurs in China.
According to estimates by human rights activists, hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs are interned in re-education camps there. There, they are reportedly forced to abandon their culture and religion.
The protest in Hamburg’s city centre on Saturday, on the other hand, does not appear to be backed by democrats. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution warns against the group “Muslim Interaktiv”. “Muslim Interaktiv takes up current and socially relevant issues in order to exploit them for their own ends,” says the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, explaining the group’s approach. Muslim Interaktiv” is close to the banned “Hizb ut-Tahir” (HuT), which calls for the killing of Jews and, according to the report, wants to enforce political goals with violence.
