Hüseyin Şenol, journalist and founding member of the editorial staff of the anti-fascist and anti-racist newspaper "Merhaba", which has been published for 31 years, received a death threat at his residence in Neu-Ulm. A used pistol bullet was placed in his mailbox. Şenol is also a regular writer for the opposition news site "Avrupa Demokrat".

Regarding the threat, Şenol stated that both German Nazis and Turkish fascists, with or without a state mandate, could be behind it. He said, "After all, our attitude and struggle are directed against fascists and racists of both currents." Neu-Ulm police are conducting ballistic tests on the bullet and investigating "in all directions," he said, and added that further developments will be announced in the coming days.

Recently, opposition members from Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, especially journalists in Germany, have repeatedly been the target of attacks. When asked about precautionary measures, Şenol replied, "Of course we will take precautionary measures, but we will not stop fighting." He vowed to continue the fight against fascism and racism and in solidarity with the peoples in Turkey.
