Migrant communities say German authorities must act to restore trust

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！"
