Germany Expels 25 Afghan Criminals to Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan
Germany has deported 25 Afghan nationals convicted of serious crimes, including homicide and sexual assault, to Afghanistan, where they were handed over to the Taliban.
The deportation, confirmed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, involved a charter flight that landed in Kabul after a stopover in Turkey. This action aligns with a government agreement to facilitate regular deportations to Afghanistan, despite the controversial nature of engaging with the Taliban, with whom Germany does not maintain official diplomatic relations. The previous deportation occurred in February, raising concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Afghanistan since the Taliban’s return to power.
