hi everyone, for some reason the news of the arrest of Andrej Holm - a researcher at the Humboldt University in Berlin who does work on gentrification and the housing market in Berlin - has not reached this mailing list yet. He has been arrested under par. 129a of the German criminal code law. This enables the state to put those in jail - for an extended period - without a clear proof of crime, merely on the basis of suspicions that the person belongs to a terrrorist organization. In the current case, it leads to people - in particular from leftist scenes - having their house searched, because in their writings they refer to such 'problematic' words as gentrification or precarization.
