#StopDeportationToAfghanistan - Daniela Platsch
"Our government warns urgently about the security situation in Afghanistan and in the same breath deports people there......."

#StopDeportationToAfghanistan - Bernhard Jenny
In Afghanistan, a high-risk area under the torment of war, terror, corruption and massive radicalism, Covid19 is now spreading. In addition to all the unbelievably sad things that are happening in this country, a famine is now in the making that will cost many people their lives.Countless Afghans live on day labour.

Afghanistan deportations-suspended detention

Afghanistan is a high-risk area affected by war and terror, and I personally do not know a single deportee who is able to gain a foothold in this country through his or her own means. Even people who have been deported by ...
