A current report in the media in Germany is surprising. A 73-year-old Persian court interpreter is under the supervision of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The man was deputy chairman of the Islamic Center Berlin until July 2024, which was banned due to its extremist and Islamist orientation.
According to a report in the newspaper ‘Bild’, the IZB’s parent organization appeared in a constitutional protection report for the first time in 2022. When one of the five leadership members fell Ali Mohammad Z. was targeted by the authorities for the first time. Nevertheless, he was still allowed to assist in trials at the Berlin court when his language skills were needed.
The interpreter’s apartment was searched
On July 24, the club’s headquarters in Berlin-Tempelhof, a mosque in Hamburg, 50 other mosques and Z.’s apartment were raided, writes “Bild”. A little later, the Islamic Center Berlin and other associated organizations were banned by the Ministry of the Interior.
The ministry cited the following as reasons: It is an extremist Islamic organization that pursues anti-constitutional goals. The association spreads “aggressive anti-Semitism,” promotes “the establishment of an authoritarian theocratic regime” and supports the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Superior had to leave Germany
Although Z. has not been deployed since July 2024, he is still on the list of official court interpreters. According to ‘Bild’, neither the Berlin police nor the Office for the Protection of the Constitution want to comment on the investigation against the 73-year-old. The chairman of the Islamic Center Berlin, Z.’s superior, has reportedly already been expelled from Germany. Because he posed a danger to ‘public safety and order’, it is said.
