A basic security measures is now a violation of human rights. Just another small episode in the ongoing demise of Germany and Europe as a whole.
“Refugees from Afghanistan and 2 other countries sue Germany for checking their phones,” Khaama Press, May 7, 2020:
Refugees from Afghanistan, Syria and Cameroon are suing Germany for invasion of privacy after the authorities allegedly checked their phones to prove their identities.
The refugees are a 37-year-old woman from Afghanistan, 25-year-old woman from Cameroon and 29-year-old man from Syria.
The authorities in Germany have the authority to examine the cell phones of the asylum seekers who do not have valid identity documents such passports, according to Mail Online.
However, Berlin’s Society of Civil Rights (GFF) is arguing that this method was used too quickly and is a violation of the refugees’ human rights.
The 29-year-old Mohammad, who was granted asylum in 2015 said “I didn’t know what exactly was happening, nobody had explained anything. But I was afraid to be deported, so I gave the mobile. It was as if I was handing over my whole life,” according to a statement released by the GFF….

Only criminals with very bad intentions are against any form of identity verification.

What absolute rubbish.
Pathet Lao says
If you have done nothing wrong, and have nothing to hide – why worry about this kind of security check?
Only those with embarrassing secrets, guilty conscious’s and a desire to hide in the shadows complain about this kind of security check…

The really appalling aspect of this is that traitorous liberals and leftists are helping them
Wellington says
Again is illustrated the parasitism of Islam in not one but two ways: 1) Muslims will use Western freedom, freedom the Islamic world has been completely incapable of creating in the first place, in order to “hold” the West to account (and with the design of eventually ending Western freedom); and 2) the very use of cell phones by Muslims thinly reveals that, again, the Islamic world on its own would not have created such and also left on its own, let’s see here, would not have created railroads, the telegraph, the telephone, electrical lighting, planes, cars, television, computers, satellites, how to extract oil from the earth and use it efficaciously, medical advances of all sorts, et al.
Have Islam dominant in your midst? Well then, you can kiss liberty and freedom of thought good-bye. Herein lies Islam’s true legacy, assuming (a big assumption to be sure) that truth prevails in the end. The truth about Islam can only lead to the conclusion that it is a recipe for the closing of the mind, spirit and body (respecting the last most particularly the clitoris).
Islam is the route to a massive dead end in sundry ways—intellectually, technologically, freedom-wise, with respect to overall graciousness (N.B., so damn sick of “the best of peoples” rot as found in Sura 3:110), with respect to a decent legal system, and in the realms of common sense and moral intelligence Mo’s creed is abundantly retrograde.
Ah yes, the Great Curse continues unabated. The Great Curse is Islam. I loathe it. How can anyone of sense and knowledge do otherwise? Shame on anyone who still defends this foul creed, whether a Mohammedan or a clueless dhimmi.

Very well said.

The government of Germany has every right, as also do other Western nations, to have laws enacted to ensure that are designed for the safety ,security and protection of the life’s that country of the West .
What terrible all those Muslim migrants have to sue of even object their host government checking their cell phone identities. If those Muslim migrants aren’t scheming evil there is no rational reason they should have any objection to any such government check to their cell phones.
By the way many times ,in twenty-first century history jihad-minded Muslims have used cell phones as part of their tools to inflect jihad murderous violence and other forms of destruction on cities of the West.

“jihad-minded Muslims have used cell phones as part of their tools to inflect jihad murderous violence and other forms of destruction on cities of the West.”
So true.
I have seen firsthand the gruesome results of cell phone triggered IEDs…

Germany: Muslim migrants sue the state for checking their cell phones to prove their identities
A basic security measures is now a violation of human rights.
………………..
That sums it up.
Are these thugs double- or triple-dipping? Are they hiding identities as Jihad terrorists? Neither would surprise.
AnnChristine says
Members of Islam should definitely be treated differently than The People of their Host country ——–The Moslem reputation is so tainted with Evil ways that we cannot be at all Lenient with them——-

We should just be enforcing our civilized laws.

”Refugees from Afghanistan, Syria and Cameroon are suing Germany for invasion of privacy”
And if they win their case what is their reward? The fines and sentences applied to them will be annulled? Or will it only be a matter of a million Euros or so?
Goofy says
How Islamophobic! Would Muslims ever lie?
Stieve says
A libertarian perspective, if I may.
I accept the random searching if a phone is indeed “spying” and every other malicious slur.
However, an “immigrant” or any “asylum seeker” should be happy to use whatever means necessary to prove they are indeed who they claim. For at least two reasons.
First, why would they want to be misidentified? Maybe their name is the same as a wanted murderer. It would be unfortunate if they were denied “asylum” because their name is the same as that bad guy you want to keep out. There are a lot of mohammeds, you know.
The second reason: why would you want to hide your identity in an “asylum” situation? One would think that showing gratitude to the host country would include verifying who you are, a well as proving you have no ill intentions.
(Besides, you would not be able to claim your government handouts without proof of who you are.)
Using these people’s logic, I have no right whatsoever to question a complete stranger who demands entry to my home for “humanitarian reasons”, or to ensure they are who they claim, and they have no intent to harm me.

Stieve, I am a Libertarian on many matters, as well. But the idea that a host nation should not be able to check to make sure they are at the least allowing Jihadists into their country is a different matter.
I bet they want to collect the dole without showing any ID, as well–perhaps collect it under several different names.
Alexandra Thrift says
Disgraceful not to be grateful to the country that has granted them shelter. Unbelievable.
