German newspaper Bild reports that a “dangerous criminal” from Afghanistan has been deported via a regular commercial flight.
This marks a significant and rare move by German authorities regarding the deportation of Afghan asylum seekers classified as security threats.
The individual was handed over to Taliban authorities at Kabul Airport early Wednesday morning, December 17.
Unlike previous collective deportations, this operation was conducted individually, signaling a new enforcement approach by Berlin.
This marks the first solo deportation of an Afghan national since a recent agreement was reached between the German government and the Taliban administration.
The move sets a precedent that is likely to spark debate regarding refugee policies and human rights.
