Shopkeeper Convicted for ‘Asylum Seekers Stay Outside’ Sign
Markus R, a former employee of the German intelligence agency BND, waits ahead of his trial for espionage in a courtroom in Munich, southern Germany, on November 16, 2015. German federal prosecutors charged him as suspected triple agent with treason and corruption, in a case that emerged during a furore over revelations of widespread US spying. The 32-year-old identified as Markus R was employed by the German intelligence agency BND but he was also spying for both the CIA and the Russian secret service, prosecutors said in charges laid at a Munich court.

A court in Germany has convicted a shopkeeper of sedition after he put up a sign asking for asylum seekers to stay out because of negative experiences he’d had in the past.
An unnamed 54-year-old shopkeeper from Selb, Germany, is facing thousands of euros in fines after putting up a sign that read, “asylum seekers have to stay outside” in his shop window. After deliberation, the court determined he was guilty of sedition, or hate speech, for not allowing asylum seekers into his place of business, reports Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
