Germany bans right-wing internet platform, as unrest grows from refugee crisis - from TRUNEWS

(TRUNEWS) The government of Germany has banned a right-wing internet platform, accusing it of spreading “anti-Islamic” and xenophobic content.

Altermedia Deutchland is now prohibited, according to Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, who said the “rule of law doesn’t allow hate crime”.

The two administrators, identified as Jutta V. and Ralph Thomas K. were arrested, according to the New York Times, on suspicion of being founders of a criminal organization. Others have been detained.

The incident comes as unrest grows over the refugee crisis. Germany accepted more than 1 million asylum seekers in 2015.  TRUNEWS reported about PEGIDA and other conservative groups that hit the streets in recent weeks, after a gangs of young migrants raped and sexually assaulted women at a train station on New Year’s Eve. http://ift.tt/1SK47xb

The Altermedia Deutchland server is located in Russia. German authorities asked the Russians to turn it off.

It is not clear when that will happen, as relations between the two countries have been strained, according to the Daily Mail. Russia has accused Germany of a cover-up of a crime at the hands of a Muslim refugees, against a Russian girl.

Earlier this month a 13-year-old was kidnapped and raped by a group of Arab looking men in Berlin.

Thousands of people in Germany hit the streets over the weekend, in various towns, to protest the incident and influx of refugees.
