The Georgian family Imerlishvilli is perfectly well integrated in Germany, yet in June 2021 they are picked up by police at night and deported to Tbilisi. Friends and neighbours are horrified; in the Saxon state government, the hard line of the Foreigners Office is causing renewed controversy. Alexander Moritz collected voices from the family and friends, from politicians in charge and from refugee initiatives.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
The report examines the problem of deporting long-time residents, drawing on arguments from all sides of the conflict and using gripping quotes for emphasis. It is based on comprehensive research, the results of which are presented in a convincing and comprehensible manner. This is informative and stirring at the same time.
