A curious event unfolded on Saturday morning up in Dusseldorf's airport. Several news sites carry the story....Focus probably has the better version.
In this group at the airport....were around fifteen members of a Kurd-German group....flying out (legally apparently) to Erbil, Iraq. Their deal? Well....they were a political group of some type, and on a 'peace-mission'. Chief purpose? To see if Turkey was infringing on the northern area of Iraq.
This odd event happens at the airport....the group gets stopped by the German federal police. All total in this group.....the political group, and friends? Around fifty.
Among this group held back....a Hamburg political associated with the Linke Party....Cansu Ozdemir.
So questions have now started to arise....under what authority did the federal police use for holding back the group or briefly detaining Ozdemir? Oddly enough, it's written into the Constitution of Germany....you can't hold back any standing political figure on a functional mission, with no exceptions. The Linke Party has apparently sent notice to the federal police....they will have to stand and explain themselves.
