BERLIN — Germany 's foreign minister is warning anyone involved in atrocities for the ousted Syrian government against seeking refuge in her country, saying they would face 'the full force of the law.' Germany has been a major destination for Syrian refugees over the past decade, and several hundred thousand Syrians live there.In rulings since 2021, former Syrian secret police officers have already been convicted in Germany for overseeing or facilitating the abuse of detainees.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Germany is 'extremely vigilant' and pointed to border checks that the country already has put in place on its frontiers as it tries to reduce irregular migration.She told Bild am Sonntag that 'no one who participated in atrocities is safe from prosecution here.' She said the convictions already handed down show that Germany pursues such crimes rigorously and should act as a deterrent against people involved in them going there.
