What Are the Requirements for Protection Stays in Germany?
- The human rights defender is verifiably committed to human rights and is threatened by governmental and/or nongovernmental organisations because of his/her activities.
- The human rights defender is still active in his/her country of origin or has only recently left the country to escape acute danger.
- The human rights defender has the intention to return to his/her country of origin after the protection stay.
- A host organisation is already available or can be found by the ESI team. Existing contacts between the human rights defender and the host organisation can accelerate the procedure.
