Sending people back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan violates fundamental human dignity. U.N. experts warn conditions remain unsafe for returns, with documented human rights violations and systematic persecution. These aren't statistics — they're real people who fled violence only to face the terrifying prospect of deportation to a regime that stones, flogs, and tortures.
When asylum is abused and violence follows, a nation must draw a line — not out of hatred, but out of duty. Germany’s deal with the Taliban sends a clear, necessary message — protection is a privilege, not a shield for lawlessness. Deporting those who reject the nation's laws protects the innocent — Afghan and German alike — from becoming collateral in failed compassion.
