Germany has deported 28 Afghan nationals back to their homeland, marking the first such deportation since the Taliban took over in 2021.
These individuals were convicted criminals, with offenses including serious arson, rape, and manslaughter.
German officials emphasize the importance of national security, arguing that deporting criminals is essential to maintaining public trust in the rule of law.
The deportations have drawn criticism from some human rights groups, who argue that Afghanistan is not safe and that the deportations violate international law.
