German Court Clears Immediate Deportation of Convicted IS Supporter to Tajikistan

Judges relied on Tajikistan’s written assurances, saying the risk of ill‑treatment is no longer substantial.

Overview

  • The Higher Administrative Court in Münster rejected his bid to appeal a lower asylum ruling, rendering the proceedings final.
  • Authorities in Kreis Warendorf are authorized to carry out the removal with immediate effect.
  • Courts cited changed circumstances and a Tajik Foreign Ministry verbal note to conclude there is no notable risk of torture or mistreatment.
  • The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees imposed a deportation ban in 2018 but revoked it in 2024 after receiving assurances from Tajikistan.
  • The man joined IS in 2015, traveled to Syria and Iraq, and received a five-year sentence in 2017; a cutter incident at a police station did not influence the court’s decision.
