German Interior Chiefs Urge Deportations to Afghanistan After Police Stabbing – Reports.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – German interior ministers will discuss lifting curbs on criminal deportations to Afghanistan after a police officer was stabbed to death by an Afghan citizen last week, German media reported on Monday.
The motion tells Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser to make sure that the Foreign Office reviews its security assessment of the situation in Afghanistan and Syria’s capital region to give a go-ahead to repatriations of criminals convicted of serious offenses.
The debate over repatriation of violent criminals reignited in Germany after a rejected asylum seeker from Afghanistan stabbed a police officer, resulting in the officer’s death. Interior Minister Faeser has demanded the harshest penalty for the attacker, suggesting the assault could be Islamist-motivated.*
