Court Blocks Deportation of Bonn Salafist Preacher Hamza

Leonis Hamza, labeled a threat by authorities, was released from detention after a court ruling favored his stay in Germany.

Leonis Hamza, also known as Abdul Alim Hamza, was released from detention after 33 days following a court decision against his deportation to Kosovo.
The court found insufficient evidence to justify his deportation based solely on his association with political Salafism.
Authorities had detained Hamza due to his extremist views and connections with radical figures, but the court prioritized his family ties in Germany.
Hamza's alleged threats of violence against his family were not substantiated enough to impact the court's decision.
The city of Bonn expressed disappointment in the court's ruling and is reviewing the decision's reasoning for further actions.
