Germany arrests Libyan war crimes suspect wanted by ICC

German authorities on Friday announced that they had arrested a senior official wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on suspicion of having committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The ICC warrant for Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri’s arrest cites his oversight of a prison notorious for the regular torture and sexual abuse of detainees.

El Hishri is accused of facilitating crimes including murder, torture and rape committed between February 2015 and early 2020

The ICC, which has been investigating crimes committed in Libya since the outbreak of civil war in the country in 2011, has said that El Hishri will remain in German custody until national proceedings can be completed.

“I thank the national authorities for their strong and consistent cooperation with the Court, including leading to this recent arrest,” ICC Registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler said in a statement.

Germany’s Merz voices support for EU’s latest Russian sanctions

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Friday welcomed the EU’s announcement of yet another raft of over its ongoing invasion of neighboring Ukraine. 

“It’s good that we in the EU have now agreed on the 18th sanctions package against Russia. It targets banks, energy, and the military industry. This weakens Russia’s ability to continue financing the war against Ukraine,” wrote Merz in a social media post on X. 

The sanctions were announced by the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas. On Friday, Kallas wrote on X, “The EU just approved one of its strongest sanctions packages against Russia to date,” claiming, “Each sanction weakens Russia’s ability to wage war.”

Germany faces worst outdoor strawberry harvest in 30 years

German farms are bracing for their smallest outdoor harvest since 1995, with just 75,500 tons expected this year, according to initial estimates from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).

That’s 4% below last year’s already weak crop of 78,600 tons — and 24% below the six-year average of 99,900 tons.

Asparagus yields are also falling, with just 98,900 tons forecast — 9% less than in 2024 and the worst harvest since 2010. Compared to the 2019–2024 average, the shortfall is 15%.

A key reason is the shrinking area under cultivation. Outdoor strawberry acreage is down 4% from last year to 8,100 hectares — the lowest since 1995.

Producers cite high costs and weaker demand for domestic strawberries, which are considered a premium product, as reasons for scaling back.

Germany resumes deportations to Afghanistan

A chartered flight has returned a group of Afghans from Germany after failed asylum claims and criminal convictions.

The German Interior Ministry on Friday confirmed it sent Afghan nationals back to their home country on board a flight from Leipzig airport.

“This morning, Germany is deporting 81 Afghan nationals to their country of origin as part of a collective repatriation effort,” the ministry said. “These are Afghan men who are legally required to leave the country and who have a criminal record in the past.”

More than 10 months ago, Germany resumed deporting Afghan nationals for the first time since the Taliban seized power in 2021. Then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz had pledged to ramp up removals of rejected asylum-seekers.

His successor, Friedrich Merz, made tougher migration policy a key pillar of his February election campaign.
