DW has commissioned an independent external investigation into allegations made in a newspaper article against some DW Arabic Service employees as well as freelancers abroad.
DW Director General Peter Limbourg:"To carry out the independent investigation, DW was able to appoint two specialists with a particularly high-level expertise for this task: former German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and psychologist Ahmad Mansour. I thank them both for their contribution in bringing a prompt resolution to what has been a difficult time for DW."
All DW employees have a duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of DW's values and strategies, both internally and externally. These principles include DW's clear commitment to Israel's right to exist and a clear stance against antisemitism. This also applies to private profiles on social media.
"Certainly, the accusations raised here are to be taken very seriously, and it is good that DW's management also sees it that way. However, the task entrusted to me demands that I approach this with openness, neutrality and the respect and sense of responsibility it deserves," said Ahmad Mansour. Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger:"DW's values and principles must be understood and lived by its staff. Violations of this code, as described here, are serious and therefore deserve careful scrutiny.", the examination of possible failures within the organization and the recommendation of preventive measures for the future. The employees concerned are suspended from work for the duration of the investigation.
DW's management will draw the appropriate conclusions without delay based on the results of the investigation.Born a Palestinian in Israel, psychologist and author Ahmad Mnsour almost became a radical Islamist. Today, he is one of Germany's most important experts on Islamism.
