Germany
The number of migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Germany continues to fall. The authorities are processing a backlog of claims from asylum seekers who arrived between 2015 and 2017. Attacks on asylum-seeker accommodation and refugees and asylum-seekers continued, but at a lower rate than previous years. Concerns remain about the impact on privacy rights and free expression of a 2018 law requiring social media companies to take down poorly defined “illegal content” or face large fines. Hate crimes and anti-Semitism are a growing concern.

Disability RightsIn 2015, I fled the war from Syria to Germany. Today, I am an advocate for the rights of refugees and people with disabilities. In April 2019, I was honored to be the first person with a disability to brief the UN Security Council on the particular impact the war in my country, Syria, has had on people with disabilities.
