Radikaliséierung zu Lëtzebuerg
Zanter knapp zwee Joer gëtt et de Lëtzebuerger Zenter géint Radikalisatioun "respect.lu", dee virop Präventioun mécht.

As well as prevention, the centre also works to help radicals find their way out again.

"Respect.lu" regularly receives reports on cases in Luxembourg with political, ideological, religious or thematic backgrounds.

Director Karin Weyer emphasised the importance of action, no matter how small the country. She said it was better to acknowledge the issue and work towards preventing potential terrorist activity, despite having been lucky not to have experienced it in Luxembourg to date.

For people with concerns about any of their family or friends, showing more radical leanings, the centre can be a good starting point for advice and help. Respect.lu can be anonymously contacted by phone on 20 60 62  or by email on respect@respect.lu.
