Germany has deported 28 Afghan nationals back to their homeland, for the first time since the Taliban took control in 2021.
These people were convicted of serious crimes like arson, rape, and manslaughter, and Germany says they pose a threat to national security.
The German government believes that deporting criminals is important for maintaining public safety and trust in the legal system.
However, some human rights groups are concerned about the safety of those deported, arguing that Afghanistan is not a safe place to live and that the deportations violate international law.
