Germany Deports 31 Afghans Including One Without Prior Conviction for First Time
Germany deported 31 Afghans to Afghanistan on a charter flight from Leipzig/Halle Airport, marking the first time an Afghan without a prior criminal record was included. The deportees were convicted of serious crimes including manslaughter, attempted murder, rape, and child sexual abuse. The one without a conviction was deported after his asylum procedure concluded and he illegally stayed in another European country. The deportation was enabled by a direct agreement with the ruling Taliban, which critics argue contradicts Germany's non-recognition of the Taliban due to human rights violations. Upon arrival in Kabul, deportees face Taliban interrogations and possible release after family assurances. Left-wing demonstrators protested the flight. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt defended the practice, stating those with negative asylum outcomes must expect enforcement of departure.
