Raue successfully represented integration and Islamism expert Ahmad Mansour against the online magazine “Hyphen” and obtained a cease-and-desist order.
In an article published by the English-language online magazine “Hyphen”, a Berlin-based freelance author claimed that Mansour had falsified aspects of his biography. Among other things, he accused Mansour of making false statements about his studies at Tel Aviv University and his time as a member of the Islamic Movement in Tira.
Ahmad Mansour publicly denied the allegations and, with the help of Raue, took legal action against the report’s false allegations. From the outset, the online magazine Hyphen was prepared to correct the freelance author’s errors and issue a cease-and-desist declaration, but initially only on condition that he agree to a confidentiality clause. Ahmad Mansour rightly rejected this condition, as it is crucial for the rehabilitation of defamation to be able to publicly point to the removal of the false allegations and to refrain from disseminating them in the future. After further negotiations, “Hyphen” dropped its demand for a confidentiality clause and agreed to the unconditional injunction.
Raue has represented Ahmad Mansour extensively in all matters relating to freedom of expression in relation to the online magazine Hyphen.
