Deported hangs in Kabul – Pressure on Seehofer grows

(dpa) Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer reacted with incomprehension to requests for resignation because of his casual remark about the deportations to Afghanistan. "I do not say anything because I just do not understand them," the CSU chief said Wednesday night in Innsbruck. On Wednesday, it was learned that one of the 69 Afghan asylum seekers from the recent deportation flight from Germany to the Afghan capital Kabul has committed suicide. The previous day, Seehofer had said mischievously about the deportations: "On my 69th birthday, 69 people were sent back to Afghanistan – which I did not order. This goes well beyond what is usual up here. Several opposition politicians demanded the resignation of Seehofer as Minister of the Interior

Seehofer was concerned about the death of the man. "This is deeply regrettable, and we should manage it objectively and carefully," he said. The refugee was reported to the Ministry of the Interior by the city of Hamburg to be deported. "The federal states are driving us these people, and we support the federal states with these deportations." We must ask the authorities in Hamburg "why they suggested this person".

Seehofer did not regret his tone, even after the suicide of the Afghans: "I did not know it yesterday. This was known in the morning. He, Seehofer, said on Tuesday: "As often happens in life. I even said: not organized.

Katrin Göring-Eckardt, president of the Green Party, reprimanded: "Deportations are not made for jokes. In the case of Seehofer, decisions about human life are therefore "in the wrong hands". The leftist interior politician, Ulla Jelpke, said that Seehofer "clearly has an incurable disability in humanity". It is high time that Chancellor Merkel "throws the man". She also called for an end to the deportations to Afghanistan. "The situation worsens, but Germany expands its expulsions.This was only a matter of time before the fatal consequences."

Afghan Ministry of Refugee staff has Wednesday told the German news agency that the young man was Tuesday in one of the International Organizations of Immigration (IOM). Temporary housing provided in Kabul was found dead. He is from Balkh Province, north of Afghanistan, and lived in Germany for eight years

. A spokesman for the Hamburg immigration authorities said that "only the delinquents and aggressors in Afghanistan" were expelled. The man had been found guilty of theft, attempted bodily harm, resistance to law enforcement officers and violation of the Narcotics Act. There were other charges – including theft and dangerous aggression.

Afghan authorities confirmed Wednesday that it was a suicide, added a spokesman for BMI. The circumstances described have strongly emphasized. An acquaintance of the death of the temporary shelter told the dpa that the man had been a loner. "He did not talk to anyone and preferred to be alone."

Bayern alone counted 51 Afghans in the plane with the last deportation flight. In addition, according to BMI, the states of Baden-Württemberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Berlin, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein participated

. in front of the embassy of Germany in Kabul, the current commitment to deport only criminals, terrorists and so-called misleaders of identity has been abandoned, especially in Bavaria

. in a permanent job on the eviction list. The organization Asyl Pro said that the death of "man" highlights the brutality "of the practice of deportation. "By deporting to a desperate situation and a country of which he hardly knows the reality, the young man was apparently driven into a situation where he did not see any way out."
