    If they can deport criminals to war zones or places where said criminals may face execution or torture, they can do that with you too

    But Afghanistan isn’t a war zone anymore and there’s no evidence that these individuals are going to be tortured. If there was credible evidence that this deportations would lead to state sanctioned torture, then you would be right, and these deportations should be halted. However, Germany has made similar deportations in the previous years and there hasn’t been any reported incidents of torture of any of the deportees.

        I’m pretty sure countries like Germany ask for guarantees like occasional checks on the well being of the deportees from the Taliban as a part of the deal. Since the Taliban desperately wants recognition, they’ll follow through with the terms.
