Germany has resumed deportations to Afghanistan for convicted criminals, stating that serious offenders have no right to residency. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt emphasized the need for safe procedures in these expulsions. After halting deportations in light of the Taliban's return to power in 2021, operations began again last year under the previous government. Amnesty International criticized the renewed deportations, citing ongoing human rights abuses in Afghanistan, including extrajudicial executions and torture. Germany aims to remain attractive for immigration while addressing local administration burdens.
"Deportations to Afghanistan must continue to be carried out safely in the future. There is no right of residence for serious criminals in our country."
"Extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, and torture are commonplace," the group said in a statement.
