The Nation-wide Human Rights Organisation for Refugees PRO ASYL takes the opportunity from today’s visit of the Parliamentary Committee on the Interior at the transit area of the Frankfurt, to repeat its demand of the abolition without replacement of the airport procedure.
As immediate measure and sign of good will Heiko Kauffmann, spokesperson of PRO ASYL demanded to take minor refugees out from the airport procedure. They have been forced into the procedure first by a decree of the former Minister of the Interior Manfred Kanther from July 1994. The opposition parties expressed their clear will in the Parliamentary Committee on the Interior at that time, to change this practice in the case of winning the majority.
„Mr. Schily remains to be called upon, to follow his words with deeds at least in this area“, so Heiko Kauffmann.
Kauffmann said, that the abbreviated legal deadlines of the airport procedure would lead to a frequently unsatisfactory quality of decisions. Moreover some of the officers of the Federal Office working at the airport felt encouraged obviously, to prefer only a rough examination on credibility regarding the flight route and the respectively used carriers to a close consideration of the real flight causes. The following examination of the Administrative Court would have regarding the pressure more the character of an „acclamation agency of an official decision „.
