Mohammed Eke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohammed Eke (born May 30, 1988 in Essen-Borbeck ) became known when he was deported from Germany to Turkey in 2009 .

Life

Mohammed Eke was born as Mohammed Ahmed on May 30, 1988 in Essen and grew up there. He lived in the belief that his parents had fled to Germany from Lebanon because of the civil war before he was born . In 2001, the family received a letter from the immigration authorities to point out that the origin was incorrect. After a DNA test it was clear that the parents came from the southeast Turkish province of Mardin , where Arabic is also spoken. In October 2002 the residence permit was no longer renewed and after a deportation was unsuccessful in April 2005, the officers managed to arrest and deport the parents and younger siblings; Mohammed Eke was at his older brother's house at the time.

He then presented to the immigration authorities, but he could not be deported immediately. According to the Residence Act, staying in Germany was dependent on “integration services provided”. In his youth, Mohammed Eke had conflicts with the law. He was now living in the home, but after a few days he was considered missing. He then visited a project for young asylum seekers, but after six months he had not been there either and he broke off contact with his guardian. On June 9, 2006 - a few days after his 18th birthday - he was written out for arrest. He spent two years in Bremen with his sister - a German citizen - and with his friends in Essen , before he was arrested on November 7, 2008 in his brother's garage. One day later he was placed in the deportation detention center in Büren . Twice he refused an application for Turkish citizenship on the grounds that he was born in Germany and was therefore a German citizen .

At the initiative of his sister, who lives in Bremen, two lawyers filed a lawsuit against the deportation, but the Gelsenkirchen administrative court found that Mohammed Eke's hiding in Germany showed that his “integration into the German legal system” depends on his “interests want to do ”and this speaks against the lack of integration. A complaint by the lawyers before the North Rhine-Westphalian Higher Administrative Court was rejected because there was no evidence of any roots in German society. On August 6, 2009 he was deported to Turkey; Mohammed Eke now lived in a mosque in Istanbul and later in Croatia . In 2010 he traveled back to Germany as an illegal immigrant, where he was picked up at the border. The authorities of the state of Bavaria were responsible for him before he could travel to his sister in Bremen. Mohammed Eke completed his training as a production technician since 2013.

Documentation

His life was documented on ZDF as part of the program " 37 Grad " with the title Mr. Eke would like to stay - Born here and only tolerated . The first broadcast took place on October 29, 2013. The film about Mr. Eke's life was then shown publicly by organizations such as Attac on the subject of the injustice of deportation. In 2015, as part of the ARD theme week Heimat, ARD will be showing the documentary Heimatlos in Istanbul about his difficult life in Istanbul. As early as 2009, Der Spiegel published a large documentary entitled The Journey of Young Mr. Eke about his previous life and the deportation.
