Entry death at the police station: new evidence in the Rose case!

On December 8, 1997, an incident happened in the Dessau-Roßlau police station that continues to cause a sensation: the 36-year-old engineer Jürgen Rose died under mysterious circumstances after a nightly examination of the police. What appeared like a tragic accident at the time now raises questions that not only employ Roses family, but also throw a shadow on the practices of the security authorities. According to a report by Junge Welt initially arrested because of alcohol, with a blood alcohol content of 1.98 per seed. But his death and the circumstances that led to him indicate far more than an unfortunate individual case.

After his first discharge at 3:01 a.m., Rose returned to his vehicle, but was stopped by the police at 3:35 a.m. At 5:06 a.m., the police received the emergency call about a seriously injured person who was only 250 meters from the area. Rose was later cooled and brought to the hospital seriously injured, where he died 24 hours later. While the police claimed that he had jumped out of the window, the man's injuries suggest that he was exposed to violence - an indication of kicks and batons, as a forensic doctor found. This findings raise justified questions, especially against the background of further unexplained deaths in the Dessau police station, including the cases of Mario Bichtemann (2002) and Oury Jalloh (2005).

scandal for police violence

according to Tagesschau show new evidence that the files have been manipulated. The Rose family's lawyer has lodged a complaint with the General Prosecutor's Office of Naumburg and the Federal Attorney General and is calling for a new procedure. The discrepancies, such as the lack of a protocol on Roses second discharge and the late inclusion of the public prosecutor, are also worrying. Roses widow, Iris Rose, has also reported four police officers for murder. She fears that such serious incidents are not isolated and appeals to others who have had similar experiences.

When we think about this case, there are thoughts of similar incidents in other European countries. According to an article by nd currently , at least 488 people died in 13 EU countries or in police officers. The high number of deaths in France is particularly alarming, followed by Germany, where 60 deaths were documented. These figures show that the Rose case is not an isolated case, but part of a major problem that concerns police violence in Europe.

a call for clarification

The inconsistencies in the Jürgen Rose case and the increasing number of deaths caused by police force throw great shadows on the credibility of the security authorities and the necessary control over their actions. Iris Rose hopes that their efforts will not be in vain and that appropriate investigations will be initiated in order to finally get to the bottom of the truth. The demand for transparent and independent examinations is getting louder, and the company is to make these concerns heard.
