Human Rights Watch has warned in its annual report from Berlin of growing hostility toward migrants and their children in Germany.
The report noted that the anti-migrant rhetoric promoted by the far-right AfD party is increasingly being adopted by other democratic parties.
Researcher Almaz Tefera stressed that it is harmful to portray people with migrant backgrounds as a general problem, even if later “hard-working migrants” are excluded from this narrative.
The report also painted a bleak picture of the global human rights situation, warning of democratic backsliding in several countries.
