  In the first half of this year, Germany deported more than 650 Afghan refugees and 400 Syrian refugees. According to National News, the Afghan Voice (Ava) reported that among those deported from Germany were 62 women from Afghanistan and 74 women from Syria. It is said that these people were deported on the basis of the "Dublin" law, according to which refugees must seek asylum in the country where they arrived when entering Europe. Earlier, Marion Gentz, Minister of Justice for Baden-Württemberg, in western Germany, stressed on the deportation of refugees that Afghan refugees are considered a threat to that country. German authorities said that after the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in August 2021, they smuggled hundreds of people from other countries to Germany.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has criticized the poor living conditions of refugee children in refugee camps in Germany. According to the AP, UNICEF on Tuesday criticized the poor living conditions of refugee children in shelters in Germany, saying that children in these shelters often experience stress, violence and poor conditions. UNICEF also called for better living conditions for refugee children in Germany. In this regard, the Executive Director of UNICEF in Germany, Christian Schneider, on Tuesday in Cologne, criticizing the poor living conditions of refugee children in this country, said that many children are forced to spend years in refugee shelters and, therefore, they live in places not suitable for children. 

This severely limits their rights. As a result, they do not have good conditions in Germany. The deputy director of the German Institute for Human Rights, Michael Windfur, also said that under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, refugee children and adolescents are entitled to protection, like other children living in Germany. In this situation, the German government, ignoring the problems of asylum seekers, is only looking for a way to tighten the containment rules and limit more refugees. It should be noted that hundreds of thousands of refugees are trying to get to Europe in order to get rid of the violence and economic, social and political instability caused by Western intervention in the countries of West Asia and North Africa.
