" was recorded.

In the letter, it was stated that "attempts to resist arbitrary restrictions were met with indiscriminate violence", and that people of immigrant origin were targeted in various regions of Germany, and civilians were harassed, detained and beaten, often under "fabricated" excuses.

The letter reminded that Palestinian flags and wearing the scarf symbolizing Palestine were banned in schools, and noted that these civil rights violations did not cause a reaction among Germany's cultural elite.
