Afghanistan Not Safe

In the organizer's words:

Afghanistan has disappeared from the spotlight since the Taliban seized power and the immediate aftermath. Despite regular appeals, the situation in the country is no longer the subject of political debate. In addition, the black-red federal government has embarked on a new refugee policy. This also affects Afghanistan and Afghan refugees. On the one hand, it has announced that it will work on regular deportations to Kabul, the first of which has already taken place with 81 Afghans. Secondly, all humanitarian admission programs are to be stopped. This also affects around 2,000 people who have been granted asylum by the German government and have been waiting in Islamabad for more than a year in some cases to be flown out to Germany. Some of these people have since been arrested by Pakistani authorities and deported to Afghanistan.

We have taken all this as an opportunity to recall the situation in Afghanistan and the situation of Afghan refugees with an event.
In one panel, we will discuss the current political, economic and social situation in Pakistan with a number of experts. On a second panel, we will discuss the situation of people with a promise of admission in Islamabad and the threat of deportation from Germany. After the second panel, there will be an opportunity for discussion over food and music.
