German court rules migrants can be deported back to Greece DW 04/16/2025
Briefly

Germany's Federal Administrative Court ruled that two men facing deportation to Greece would not encounter inhumane conditions. The case involved a 34-year-old from Gaza and a 32-year-old Somali, both with protection status in Greece. Their German asylum applications were rejected. The court determined that while the Greek asylum system has shortcomings, it concluded that young, able-bodied men would not suffer extreme hardship upon return, fulfilling basic needs such as accommodation and food. This ruling reinforces the Dublin Agreement's stipulations regarding asylum proceedings in the EU's first country of entry.
"It cannot be expected with any significant probability that able-bodied, healthy, and single young male beneficiaries of protection returning to Greece will find themselves in extreme material hardship, preventing them from meeting their most basic needs in terms of accommodation, food, and hygiene."
"The lower court agreed that while the Greek asylum system does have shortcomings, young, able-bodied men should be able to deal with them."
