People exiled in Germany under threat or attack from agents of their repressive home countries now have a support ​line to call, courtesy of the country's domestic intelligence ​service.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, that Germany's BfV, the Office for the Protection of ⁠the Constitution, on Thursday published a brochure advertising a helpline ​for people who found refuge in Germany from authoritarian nations such ​as Russia, China or Iran.

Those people, who increasingly face intimidation, surveillance, repression or even abduction and assassination attempts, are encouraged to help the BfV ​in analysing repressive strategies and how to counter them.
