AfD for the release of addresses of convicted pedophiles
The Saxony-Anhalt AfD parliamentary group is pushing for the publication of addresses of convicted paedophiles on police websites. With a corresponding motion in parliament next week, the parliamentary group wants to call on the state government to lobby at federal level to include a legal regulation in the Code of Criminal Procedure. In addition to the name and address, a photo of "a pedophile convicted of an offence against sexual self-determination" should also be allowed to be published.
The AfD justifies the proposal with "a particularly high risk of recidivism" among pedophile offenders. The publication of the data does encroach on the fundamental rights of those affected, the parliamentary group admits in its motion. However, this is intended for protection. It should be made more difficult for convicted paedophiles to "make contact with children without being recognized".
The AfD's proposal to publish addresses of convicted pedophiles on police websites will be brought to the state parliament next week. Despite acknowledging potential infringements on the affected individuals' fundamental rights, the AfD argues that this measure is necessary to prevent convicted pedophiles from making contact with children undetected.
