Senator suggests relocating lawbreakers to Syria and Afghanistan.

Gathering of Interior Ministers - Senator suggests relocating lawbreakers to Syria and Afghanistan.

Following a deadly knife assault on a cop in Mannheim, Hamburg plans to urge the expulsion of severe criminals to Syria and Afghanistan at the upcoming Interior Minister Conference (IMK). "The IMK accepts the belief that those who, due to committing severe crimes or pursuing constitutionally hostile aims, present a danger to public safety should face expulsion for Afghan and Syrian nationals," states a resolution proposal from the Hamburg Interior Department on Monday.

The conference should request the Federal Interior Ministry to reassess the security status in Afghanistan and the area around Damascus' capital. Existing airlines should also be employed for returns. A deal with Pakistan should be reached, per Hamburg's proposal, which would see Afghans transported to their home country by land.

"Those who commit serious crimes here must leave the nation, even if they're from Afghanistan. Here, the safety concerns of Germany take precedence over the protection needs of the offender," stated Hamburg's Interior Senator Andy Grote (SPD). He emphasized, "We require a means to revive the deportation of lawbreakers, but also of terrorists and Islamically adversarial individuals to Afghanistan."

According to the "Bild" paper, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) and the SPD parliamentary team back the Hamburg initiative. "The death of the young policeman in Mannheim furious and leaves us without words. If someone, like the suspected culprit, commits severe crimes here, then they've forfeited their right to remain and can be deported to Afghanistan," claimed the newspaper the deputy group leader Dirk Wiese. The IMK is scheduled for June 19–21 in Berlin.
