I have no idea what the incidence of immigrant crime might be in Basel — maybe our Swiss readers can supply some statistics.
Many thanks to Michael Laudahn for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
A full transcript is below the jump:
| 00:00 | In recent weeks, a lot of rapes have taken place in Basel. How do you feel now when you move around Basel? | |
| 00:07 | Honestly, I feel rather insecure, especially when going out, | |
| 00:13 | so I always try to be there where there are many people, | |
| 00:15 | and really try to avoid unfamiliar places where someone might stand, | |
| 00:21 | so yes, I do have some fear. | |
| 00:23 | I feel, honestly speaking, um, I'm never sure where I should go, | |
| 00:29 | because the rapes have taken place not far from my business. | |
| 00:33 | We just can no longer go out, that's the bad thing, I would say. | |
| 00:37 | Well, I feel quite insecure when I'm outside alone, | |
| 00:41 | when I'm with colleagues it's different, | |
| 00:42 | then I know someone is near who could help me, | |
| 00:47 | but all on my own, I would not dare to go out at night. | |
| 00:52 | I sure am afraid to some degree, when I return home late from going out, I ride home rather quickly on my bike. It's become worse. | |
| 00:59 | Have you yourself also been in a situation where you didn't feel well, maybe because someone stared at you, or...? | |
| 01:06 | Yes, several times, but I just left quickly. | |
| 01:11 | There were also cases when I was riding the tram and got molested, | |
| 01:16 | best is not to say anything, because as a woman, against 3 or 4 men there is nothing you can do. | |
| 01:20 | I start to find it trivial that we even in Switzerland don't have the freedom to move anymore. Bad. | |
| 01:28 | It's just the entire environment. I don't really feel so good in Basel. | |
| 01:35 | Would it be a reason for you to stay home if you knew you would have to return on your own? | |
| 01:41 | Definitely. I often make sure that all we colleagues go home together, | |
| 01:46 | otherwise I make sure to get to town by car, thereby I avoid having to walk alone to the tram. | |
| 01:54 | I wouldn't go down to the Rhine river [which runs through Basel] even if people were with me, | |
| 02:01 | just as a general rule, you shouldn't be around all on your own. | |
| 02:05 | Or if you are where there aren't many people - you just shouldn't be around alone. | |
| 02:10 | I would probably reflect thoroughly what way to take home, | |
| 02:14 | but this may not protect me either. | |
| 02:16 | Maybe when we read such things we probably start worrying. | |
| 02:21 | It probably also plays a part how we arrange things, if we are around alone, | |
| 02:27 | make sure that you are in company when going out, especially during the night. | |
| 02:32 | Maybe self-conscience would eradicate, | |
| 02:36 | or maybe if we knew we could defend ourselves, | |
| 02:39 | maybe this would help, | |
| 02:41 | but if we then end up in such a situation, I don't know if we could implement what we have learned. | |
| 02:48 | If one is targeting you, you have no chance - no matter what clothes you wear. |
