STASI files Explanation: STASI was the "STAatsSIcherheit" of the former GDR. Kohl stopped his files being published by court order (something practically nobody else has done or is allowed to do!) |

maybe it helps Explanation: Try a search on google (by setting your preferences on German) for Stasi + Kohl. You will get lots of hits. From what I've seen in a few minutes it was about publishing Stasi files about some persons (maybe puyblic persons) and Kohl had something to do with it by giving a law for making stasi files public. I think it could have been also about making public ome stasi files about kohl. anyway, I don't have too much time to read in detail all that's been written. For more details try that search. Here are a few links 1. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,143342,00.h... an excerpt Das Gericht gab mit dem Urteil dem Opferschutz Vorrang vor dem öffentlichen Interesse an der Aufklärung der Stasi-Arbeit. Eine zehnjährige Praxis der Stasi-Akten-Behörde wird damit als unrechtmäßig eingestuft. Das Amt hatte seit seiner Gründung 1991 Akten über Prominente herausgegeben, so weit sie nicht die Privatsphäre der Betroffenen verletzten. Kohl hatte als Chef des Bundeskabinetts jahrelang selbst die Rechtsaufsicht über die Behörde. 2. www.ftd.de/pw/de/FTDAL0GKQOC.html?nv=rs |
