E/CN.4/1995/78 page 9 Hamburg, 23 June 1994 36. A home for foreign asylum-seekers was set on fire during the night. The home had housed up to 185 people, but most had moved out because of renovations. The six occupants of the building escaped unhurt after fires broke out simultaneously in four separate places, which supports the suspicions that the attack was set purely with the aim of killing the residents of the buildings. Based on the available evidence, it is alleged that the attack was racially motivated. Borken, June 1994 37. An arson attack was carried out in the attic of a three-storey residential building occupied by six Turkish families. The residents were not in the building at the time of the attack, which prevented a tragedy. The building was, however, severely damaged. The arson attack, acknowledged by police, is alleged to have been carried out by right-wing extremists and to have been racially motivated. Berlin, 3 July 1994 38. The arson attack carried out on a travel agency owned by Haluk Pinarbasi and Senüz Cinar is alleged to be linked to racist motives. Berlin, 23 July 1994 39. A gang of 22 neo-Nazis went on a rampage at the memorial to the Buchenwald concentration camp. The police reported that the skinheads yelled "Heil, Hitler" and threw stones at the barracks buildings. Several of the youths threatened to set a woman who works at the memorial on fire. The memorial, consisting of the few buildings remaining from the concentration camp, was being remodelled in preparation for next year’s fiftieth anniversary of its liberation in the last weeks of the Second World War. Security at the memorial was reportedly strengthened early this year following instances in which neo-Nazis insulted Israeli visitors to the camp. Freudenstadt, 30 July 1994 40. There was an attempted arson attack on the Turkish Social, Cultural and Sports Club in Horb. The perpetrators of the attack have not been identified, and nothing has been heard from the police concerning them. Cologne, 31 July 1994 41. Cetin Apohan, a 20-year-old Turk living in Bremen, was clubbed to death with a baseball bat. He was later doused with gasoline and set on fire at a camp ground outside Cologne. The autopsy report indicated fractures of the head and various other parts of the body. Witnesses said they heard two shots and then people shouting "Burn the Turk". The Cologne Prosecutor, Reiner Gliss, stated that although the murder seemed to be related to racism, this could not be confirmed by the evidence at hand.
