Germany Deports Afghan without Criminal Record for First Time Since Taliban Takeover
The man was among 31 Afghan men on a flight from Germany, and 30 others had criminal convictions, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said.
- Germany deported 31 Afghan men on Tuesday, including one individual without a criminal record for the first time since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt confirmed.
- Since the resumption of deportations to Afghanistan in 2024, Germany has returned over 200 people. These operations remain controversial given concerns over human rights and the treatment of returnees following the Taliban takeover in 2021.
- Of the 31 men deported, 30 possessed criminal convictions. The remaining individual had exhausted his asylum claim after being found living illegally in another European country.
- Amnesty International has raised concerns about the treatment of returnees, reporting that at least one person was killed following a previous deportation to Afghanistan.
- Dobrindt noted the individual without a criminal record became liable for deportation after exhausting his asylum claim. The government continues executing these deportations despite ongoing human rights concerns.
