After Court Wins, 14 Afghans With German Admission Pledges Arrive in Hannover

Court rulings compelled visas after the new government halted the federal Afghan intake program.

Overview

  • Two Afghan families totaling 14 people flew from Islamabad via Istanbul and landed in Hannover on Thursday evening.
  • German authorities say all entrants completed the admission process and security screening and held Pakistani exit authorizations.
  • This was the fourth such transfer since the policy reversal in May, with visas issued following successful multi‑instance lawsuits.
  • Roughly 1,900 people with prior German admission commitments remain in Pakistan awaiting exit, according to the federal government.
  • Kabul Luftbrücke confirmed assisting the cases and reported recent arrests of Afghans in Pakistan as deportations and pressure continue.
