Afghan Refugees in Pakistan Face Deportation Amid Delays in German Visa Processing
Over 3,000 Afghan refugees with acceptance promises from Germany are waiting in Pakistan for visas, but are now facing deportation as Pakistani authorities begin to enforce removals due to prolonged processing times. The German government expresses concern over the deportations from guesthouses, where refugees have been sheltered while waiting for their visas. Despite Germany’s assurance of expedited measures, authorities worry that delays are leading to the expiration of stay permits, prompting returns to Afghanistan.
