In December 2022, Okba Michael B. stabbed a 14-year-old girl in Illerkirchberg near Ulm, seriously injuring her 13-year-old friend. Now he has to answer to the district court of Ulm for murder and attempted murder. A process with political explosiveness.
Three hours before the start of the trial, the first representatives of the press are standing in front of the closed doors of the Ulm Regional Court. There should be 20 places for the reporters – half of the places seem to have already been taken. The hall opens shortly after 9 a.m. At the same time, four young men line up in front of the courthouse. They are from the Young Alternative Swabians, silently holding up a banner: “Safe borders, safe way to school.” Otherwise it remains calm on this day. The police officers stationed around the courthouse are not needed.
