Early on the morning of the last Friday, a charter flight from Leipzig/Halle Airport, which led to the Afghan capital Kabul. Not only travelers were on board, but also two Afghan criminals from Saxony-Anhalt, which directs public attention to the controversy around deportations.

The flight marks an important turning point: It is the first deportation measure to Afghanistan Since the Taliban's takeover in August 2021, a situation that raises many legal and moral questions. The Ministry of the Interior in Magdeburg said in a message that the two dismissed men who are dealing with here were convicted of serious offenses.

Detailed profiles of the deported

The first of the two men is convicted several times and is a juvenile sentence due to double rape. His deeds throw a dark light on the often mentioned topic of security and case law for migrants in Germany. The other deported is also convicted of sexual abuse by minors. Processes currently directed against him concern rape and dealing with narcotics, whereby here too the question of the protection of the vulnerable groups is coming to the fore.

Overall, 28 Afghan criminals, which were brought to Leipzig from different federal states, sat in the Boeing 787, which was operated by Qatar Airways. The organization of this deportation was directed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which illustrates the nationwide dimension of this measure.

In view of the fact that Afghanistan is still shaped by conflicts and human rights violations, it remains to be seen which reactions this measure will cause in public and human rights organizations. The approval for the implementation of such deportations is a delicate point in the discussion about migrant rights and security issues. Experts and critics speak of a dangerous development that could possibly be followed both legally and socially.

This deportation freight is not only seen as a logistical challenge, but also raises fundamental questions regarding the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Among the current circumstances, many concerned votes have pointed out that the return of rejected asylum seekers among the current security and human rights conditions in Afghanistan is problematic.

In a time when global migration patterns change quickly, the decision to carry out such deportations is not only an administrative act, but also a strong signal to everyone involved in the field of migration and asylum. It is to be hoped that future measures include a balanced view of both security interests and human rights.
