In a memorandum addressed to the German Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Eritrean People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) urged concerned German authorities to bring to justice the murderers on 10 January 2015 of a young Eritrean refugee, Khaled Idris Bahray, in Dresden.

Frank Walter Steinmeier According to agency reports, 20-year-old Khaled left his residence at 8pm last Monday to buy some cigarettes from a nearby supermarket but never returned to his roommates who assumed he went to other friends to spend the night with. But early next morning, his body was discovered near his usual residence. Police have confirmed that his death was caused by knife stabbing.

The EPDP memorandum dated 13 January 2015 wished to draw the personal attention of the German Federal Foreign Minister to this tragic murder of a young refugee and urged his esteemed Ministry to see to it that concerned German authorities make full investigation of the crime and bring the culprits to justice.

The memorandum, which was copied to the German Federal Ministries of Interior and Justice, did not hide the fear that the assailants could be the xenophobic forces in the Dresden region.
