Regarding the situation concerning the danceWEB scholarship recipient Mohamed Yousry Fathy Saleh:

Following a police incident that occurred on the basis of alleged disregard of a red street light on July 22^nd, 2017, the person concerned, Mohamed Yousry Fathy Saleh, has raised the question whether this was a case of “racial profiling” and racial assault. Ever since this incident ImPulsTanz and danceWEB team as well as the festival director Karl Regensburger are supporting Mohamed Yousry Fathy Saleh and are in active pursuit of this matter along with the help of ZARA – Verein Zivilcourage und Anti-Rassimus-Arbeit. According to police procedures a guidline complaint was filed with the aim for a mediation session in order to eludicate the facts. Now that the police have provided an extensive fact pattern, a mediation session was not offered after all. In addition, according to the assessment of ZARA, the statements set out in this issue on the part of the police lack any basis for a judicial follow-up of this incident. ImPulsTanz regrets that no further dialogue was achieved and would like to express its appreciation to all parties involved for their attempt for a respectful coexistence.
