A Berlin court ruled that a 14-member Afghan family, stuck in Pakistan for 18 months, must receive their promised German visas. However, the German government is now challenging that decision.
The family had been approved under Germany’s special airlift program for at-risk Afghans in 2023. Their identities were verified, and there are no security concerns. Yet, the government is pursuing the complaint, further delaying its move.
They now fear deportation from Pakistan, where their visas have expired. Pro-migrant groups like Pro Asyl call the delay disgraceful. With around 2,400 Afghans still waiting, this case could shape how Germany handles future asylum promises.
