Hanover (dpa / lni) - People from Lower Saxony are also repeatedly being deported to Afghanistan, which has been shaken by terrorist attacks. Since 2018, 14 Afghan men have been brought home from the state - five of them this year. This emerges from a response from the state government to a request from the Greens. The deported are therefore criminals between the ages of 18 and 38 who, according to the information, had committed sexual abuse of children, attempted manslaughter, rape, dangerous bodily harm, predatory extortion, serious robbery and particularly serious arson.

The Green migration politician Susanne Quantity said that given the security situation in Afghanistan, the collective deportation to the country from Hanover Airport in March was irresponsible. “It doesn't help that only criminals were deported. Some of them deserve imprisonment, but deportation to Afghanistan could mean death for them, "said Quantity. "A state like Germany, which is committed to human rights, must not hand anyone over to this mortal danger."

With a view to the announced withdrawal of NATO from Afghanistan, crowd spoke out in favor of a nationwide ban on deportations to the country.

The state government asked them not to make Hanover Airport available for deportations to Afghanistan.

In addition, all Afghans living in Germany with a Duldung or who have been in the asylum procedure for years would need a secure right to stay, “without the grueling constant fear of deportation”.

The Lower Saxony Refugee Council also called for a deportation stop to Afghanistan at the beginning of May.

The Council also relied on the Global Peace Index, according to which Afghanistan is the most insecure country in the world.

Attacks and explosions in Afghanistan had recently resulted in numerous deaths.

More than 50 people recently died when a car bomb and two mines exploded within a few minutes not far from the entrance to a school in Kabul.
