Police in Germany have conducted raids at 54 sites across the country as part of an investigation into an Islamic centre for alleged links to Iran and the Tehran-backed group Hezbollah.
I want to make clear that we are acting against Islamists, not against a religion or another state, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said. We have the Islamist scene in our sights, she said. Especially now, when many Jews feel particularly threatened, we do not tolerate Islamist propaganda or anti-Semitic and anti-Israel hate speech, she added.
The ministry said the centre supported the revolutionary concept championed by Iran's supreme leader, which may be a violation of Germany's constitutional order. No arrests were made, and the government said the raids were focused on gathering evidence for its investigation into support for Hezbollah.
