Brandenburg wants to get Yazidi family back from Iraq

Brandenburg’s interior minister René Wilke (non -party) is committed to the return of a deported Yazidi family from Iraq. “In view of the chain of the circumstances, the concrete fate of the family and the commandment, I have commissioned the responsible authorities in Brandenburg in coordination with the federal authorities to the brief return of the family if the judicial decision would Has, “said Wilke. To do this, the federal government must issue the necessary travel documents to those affected and recognize them as the addressee of the court decision.

The family with four underage children had been deported on Tuesday, although a court had lifted their obligation to leave on the same day. The Yazidis are a religious minority.

The family’s lawyer had turned to the Potsdam Administrative Court on Tuesday before the deportation freight. The family was successful, but when the decision was made, she was already on the plane.

The incident moved him, the Interior Minister said. The written decision of the administrative court, with which the enforceability of the obligation to leave was subsequently lifted, only had to exist after the landing in Baghdad. “This was no longer possible to influence the authorities involved,” he said.

Politicians from the SPD, the Greens and the Left had requested that the family be returned. The refugee aid organization Pro Asylum considers the deportation practice of Germany to be inhumane and penetrates an deportation stop for Yazid Yazid Yazid. In 2023, the Bundestag recognized crimes by the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) in 2014 to the Yazidi women as genocide.

The Yazidi family, who lived in Lychen in the Uckermark, had sued in 2023 against rejection of her application for international protection and against the threat of deportation. The BAMF rejected the family’s asylum application.
