by the CILIP Editorial Team

The fight against the new Corona virus in Germany entails restrictions of fundamental rights that were beyond imagination until recently. By documenting the developments that took place from 25 February to 15 May 2020, as a civil liberties organisation, we aim to contribute to the complete push back of all these new laws, regulations, and provisions.

“Politics is debated like hardly ever before” – Discussing Corona
by Dirk Burczyk, Tom Jennissen, Jenny Künkel, Christian Meyer and Matthias Monroy

We discuss legislation, executive ordinances, and policing as well as their implications.
