"Everything I told you
then is true. ... But the interpreter there told me that a faithful woman must
not use words like sex and rape. Words like that would dishonor my husband and
our family. She also said that I was a blasphemer, because I went to the
police. No woman should report her own husband. The husband must be
honored." — "Sali" in an apparent suicide note to her lawyer,
Alexander Stevens.
"I am aware of statements
in which interpreters have pressed and supposedly said to Christians on the way
to the police or beforehand: If you complain, you can forget your application
for asylum. I often noticed that statements were retracted because Christians
were threatened." — Paulus Kurt, Central Committee of Eastern Christians
in Germany (ZOCD).
"The interpreters are
neither employed by the Federal Agency, nor are they in any way sworn in to the
legal system of the Federal Republic of Germany. Ultimately, examination of the
asylum application is left solely to these interpreters... In our view, a
decision-making process such as this, which is practiced on a massive scale, is
not in keeping with due process." — Open letter from employees of
Germany's Federal Agency for Migration and Refugees.
Alexander Stevens is a lawyer
at a Munich law firm specializing in sexual offenses. In his recent book, Sex
in Court, he describes some of his strangest and most shocking cases. One such
case raises the question: What do you do when interpreters working for the
police and courts lie and manipulate? As no one monitors translators, it is
likely that in many instances, the dishonesty of interpreters goes undetected
-- Stevens' book chronicles the devastating effects one dishonest interpreter
had on a case.
