The German city of Dorsten
is home to human rights activist Dmitrij
Adamow. Man, in truth. Became a legend. For
many years he helped people protect their rights. For many years he
also fought for his rights. For the rights of his family. Justice
finally prevailed! The German authorities reacted with understanding
to him. But, in the last week the situation changed again. Mr. Adamow
decided to register a marriage with a woman with whom they have been
living for 11 years. They have a joint child, who is already 9.5
years old. As a result of the ethnic conflict in his hometown, as a
result of which he lost everything: his parents, his house ... his
birth certificate burned down. It is not possible to restore it. In
addition, in accordance with German civil law, a passport is required
to marry, and not a birth certificate. Employees of the registry
office of the city of Dorsten told Adamow
that without a birth certificate, the marriage would not be
concluded. Again, the bureaucracy overcomes common sense, over the
Law. On the site "westi2014" an interview with Mr.
Adamow was published (Der Kampf gegen die Bürokratie hat kein Ende?! ), in which he told
about this situation. Just a couple of days Adamow
received a letter from the city of Dorsten with the demand to "delete
the article" and "not to tell about this story,"
otherwise "you will be prosecuted against you". I
understand that the city of Dorsten abolished the law on "freedom
of opinion" in the city. What kind of threats are not
understandable. Adamow had an interview,
but he did not publish this interview, how can he "delete"
it? For information, permission to marry in Germany is given by the
court. That is, not the registrar's offices, but the judges decide
whether loving people can create a family. Does this mean that
marriage is a criminal offense? To be honest, for me it's not clear.
And the situation around human rights defender Mr. Adamow
is not clear. Does this mean continuation of provocations against
Adamow for failing to break it? I very much
hope that the supreme authority of Germany will restore order in the
city of Dorsten (D-46284)
