Afghan Asylum Seeker's Return to Germany Sparks Controversy

After being deported from church sanctuary, a 29-year-old Afghan man is back in Germany and detained, reigniting debates over asylum policies.

The Afghan man was initially deported from a Hamburg church asylum to Sweden under the Dublin Regulation.
Upon his return to Germany, he attempted to reapply for asylum but was immediately placed in detention.
His case has drawn criticism from refugee advocates, the Left party, and church officials who argue for humanitarian protection.
The Hamburg authorities are preparing to deport him back to Sweden, where he first sought asylum nine years ago.
Concerns have been raised about his mental health and the potential risk of further deportation to Afghanistan from Sweden.
