Swiss Senator Criticizes Taliban for Refusing to Accept Deported Asylum Seekers

DID Press: A Swiss liberal senator has strongly criticized the Taliban interim government for its refusal to cooperate in accepting deported Afghanistani asylum seekers, urging direct negotiations between the Swiss federal government and the group.

In recent remarks, the senator expressed concern over the growing difficulties Switzerland faces in deporting Afghanistani nationals, especially in cases where the individuals possess valid documentation, yet the Taliban still declines to accept them.

Switzerland’s migration office confirmed that efforts to return Afghanistani asylum seekers have encountered serious obstacles, underscoring the need for deeper assessment and more effective solutions.

The Swiss senator believes that initiating dialogue with the Taliban administration can pave the way for resolving the crisis and easing the challenges associated with the deportation process
