After Court Orders, 14 Afghans Arrive in Germany as Intake Halt Leaves 1,900 Waiting

Court rulings now determine who gets in following Berlin's halt to federal intake programs.

Overview

  • Fourteen people from two Afghan families with prior admission pledges landed in Hannover on Thursday evening after flights from Islamabad via Istanbul.
  • The Interior Ministry said final court judgments required visa issuance and confirmed that all arrivals completed security screening.
  • Pakistani authorities granted the necessary exit permits, and the group will be processed at the Friedland transit center before allocation to states.
  • This was the fourth such court-enforced transfer since the new government curtailed federal admissions in May.
  • Roughly 1,910 people with German admission commitments remain in Pakistan, as NGOs report arrests and deportations increasing pressure on those waiting.
