German justice minister condemns attacks on judges after asylum ruling

BERLIN: German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig has condemned “alarming” attacks on judges who earlier this week delivered a ruling challenging a key plank of the government’s immigration crackdown. Hubig said in a statement together with the justice ministers of Germany’s federal states that “we condemn such attacks on the judicial system and on judges’ independence.” The Berlin judges’ association said on Wednesday that two of its members had been “defamed and threatened” after handing down their decision on Monday.
