Admission: free

Organizer: Werkstatt der Kulturen/ Reachout

Co-Operation

Book reading 
with author Eberhard Schultz

By invitation of Reachout -victim counseling and education against right-wing, racist and anti-Semitic violence - and in cooperation with Werkstatt der Kulturen.
 

The 2018 published book "Enemy Islam and institutional racism - human rights work in times of migration and anti-terrorism" (VSA-Verlag Hamburg) is still a burning issue. This is shown not only by attacks and raids on mosques and (suspected) muslims and the subsequent deficits in the investigation, but also the events surrounding the resignation of BND chief Maaßen, numerous court decisions and cases of authority arbitrariness and the slow investigation into suspected terrorists in Bundeswehr and police - years after the problematic "processing" of the NSU murder series.
Frightening are also the revelations in the case of the alleged Berlin assassin Amri and the revelations about the entanglements of state security forces in the attack on the leftist politician Ferat Kocak.


 

 

 

Human rights lawyer Eberhard Schultz reads from his critical case documentation, in which cases of the last two decades from the most diverse areas in the respective context are presented (immigration and asylum law, investigation and criminal proceedings, association and labor law and violations of personal rights.

Answers to the following questions are tried to be made
:

  • What is racism today? - far beyond the racial racism of neo-Nazis.

  • How did it emerge historically and why is it today still virulent?

  • What role do the media play here as a so-called fourth power?

  • What is institutional racism?

  • What human rights and legal instruments exist to combat racial discrimination?


Together we will try to answer the question: What can and must be done to combat racism more effectively than before?
 

Eberhard Schultz has been fighting for almost four decades as a committed lawyer and human rights activists for his clients and against human rights violations. He is a board member of the International League for Human Rights, works in progressive lawyers' associations (RAV and defense lawyers association) and has founded the Eberhard Schultz Foundation for Social Human Rights and Participation together with his wife Azize Tank, MdB a.D.
