The United Nations slammed Germany on Friday for wanting to send Afghan refugees back home. UN officials spoke out against the German government's latest move one day after Berlin's interior minister announced plans to talk directly with Taliban leaders. Ravina Shamdasani from the UN Human Rights Office made the criticism clear during a press conference in Geneva. She told reporters that sending people back to Afghanistan would be wrong. The UN official stressed that conditions there remain dangerous for returning refugees.

Germany had completely stopped sending Afghan refugees back to their homeland when the Taliban took control again three years ago. German officials also shut down their embassy in Kabul after the militant group seized power. The country maintained this policy until recently when political pressure started building up. Far-right politicians from the Alternative for Germany party have been pushing hard for tougher immigration rules. Their growing influence has sparked fresh debates about whether Germany should resume deportations to Afghanistan despite the risks.
