Germany deports dozens of convicted criminals to Afghanistan – POLITICO
Qatar arranged the deportation flight for the German government in order to avoid direct negotiations with the Taliban regime, new report said.
If someone comes to seek asylum in a country foreign to that one or wants to build a life there, but so willingly disregards its laws, they have overstayed their welcome.
However, that does not mean that deporting them back to where they came from is necessarily better in case torture, death or similar things await them there. In that case they could be killed, tortured, whatever right on the spot as the outcome will be the same. No need to fly them out then. There is blood on one's hand either way and therefore not a solution I would deem meaningful.
3It's the correct call
-8It's not. Human rights are only human rights if they are universal and even criminals deserve to be protected from abuse and torture.
Plus, it doesn't actually solve anything. It just moves the problem elsewhere and will most likely have involved the German government directly giving money to the Taliban regime.

Imagine what that has cost the tax paying citizens of Germany. All for guilt from 80 years ago.
Remember your past sure. Don't make the same mistakes again. Absolutely.
But to hold those people for that long, for "their own safety" is just bizarre.
Imagine any other country doing that?
Honesty, I'm all ears to hear why Germany should have spent all that money for all those years. Maybe I'm ignorant on certain facts. It's just so surreal to read though.
-9You realize organizing a charter flight and bribes for Qatar are a lot more expensive than keeping 20-odd people in jail, right?
Saving money, not giving money to autocracies, and also saving human lives seems like a win-win-win to me.
8I don't think it's guilt from 80 years ago, I think most countries would do the same.
7Keep them safe, or send them away?

This has nothing to do with guilt from 80 years ago. What are you even on about?
This is being done because Scholz is a spineless wimp, trying to appease the far-right in an attempt to steal back votes from the AfD (which will not work and will only further alienate the SPDs voter base). It's a political move and the people being deported are being used as pawns.
5One of the learnings from WWII was that a working asylum system is important. But yeah, terming this "guilt" is bs.

Many other countries do in fact do that.
