The policy-making College of the five Prosecutors-General of the Public Prosecutor's Office has announced its intention to prosecute all cases of discrimination by the extreme rightwing. Until now, public prosecutors on occasion could decide to drop a case when the suspect could be expected to use his trial as a platform for voicing racist opinions. From now on, the only criteria will be the chance of success in winning a case. As an additional measure, the number of public prosecutors dealing with discrimination cases will be increased.

Our work is only possible with your support.
