Migrant communities say German authorities must act to restore trust

For years, German authorities made no connections between the murders of
nine migrant shopkeepers and a neo-Nazi terror cell. Migrant groups say
it's because the state failed to recognize the far-right threat.

If we are not our brother's keeper, let us at least not be his executioner.
如果我們不能當他的守護者,至少不要成為殺他的劊子手。





"媒體未能扮演好自身的角色,讓許多公共議題的理性討論成為奢求。
廢死議題就是一例。例如1月20日Yahoo和蘋果日報及時新聞都引用了中廣的一則報導「南非(甘蔗田殺手)被判十三個死刑」,但明明南非已經廢除死刑了,怎麼會被判死刑呢?找出原文報導後發現:他是被判無期徒刑( Life Imprisonment),和死刑(Death Penalty)差很多,記者(編譯)連基本的事實都無法掌握,更遑論分析?舉出這個例子是希望讀者朋友們,一起來監督關於死刑報導的新聞品質,若有任何奇怪、沒有求證事實的報導,歡迎告訴我們!"
