UN criticizes German plan to deport Afghans

The U.N. on Friday criticized a plan by Germany to deport Afghan criminals to Afghanistan, a day after the interior minister said he would seek direct contact with the Taliban over this issue. Germany stopped deportations following the Taliban's return to power in 2021, but the rise of far-right and anti-immigrant politicians has seen the issue rise up the agenda. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Thursday he envisaged Germany "making agreements directly with Afghanistan to enable deportations." But Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office, told reporters in Geneva it was "not appropriate to return people to Afghanistan." "We have been documenting continuing human rights violations in Afghanistan," she said, including denial of women's rights and executions. "In other words... the conditions on the ground are not yet ready for returns," he said.
