Abstract

The article reports on the efforts of Austrian property developer Hans Jörg Ulreich to assist asylum seekers who face deportation under Austria's increasingly strict immigration policies. He is quoted discussing his motivation for doing so, which began when a nine-year-old boy who was a friend of his son, and spoke perfect German, was deported to Kosovo. The anti-immigration campaign of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria (Freiheitliche Partei Oesterreichs) is described in this context, and Austrian immigration enforcement is accused of lacking both transparency and accountability.
