Elderly Turkish Resident Faces Imminent Expulsion
In a unique and controversial case, a 75-year-old woman, who has been living in Germany since 1976 as a guest worker's wife, is facing deportation after being convicted for attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm. The incident took place in a hospital in Karlsruhe, Germany, during the 2022 corona epidemic.
The woman's residence permit was issued in 2005, but her actions in the hospital have led to an emergency situation and ultimately the death of her roommate. According to the Administrative Court, the woman lacked empathy and was aware of her wrongdoing.
The specifics of the incident are not fully disclosed, but it is known that the woman turned off her breathing apparatus despite warnings from hospital staff. This action caused an alarming situation that resulted in her roommate's death a few days later.
The Mannheim Regional Court sentenced the woman to three years in prison for her actions. However, the government presidency issued a deportation order for the woman, despite her having a residence permit since 2005.
The woman was not given another room after being expelled from the hospital and now expects to join her family in Turkey. The verdict in the trial against the deportation order is not yet final.
The Administrative Court believed that the woman posed a serious threat to public safety and order, leading to her expulsion from the hospital. During her pretrial detention, the woman received disciplinary penalties.
