German Court Orders Visas for Afghan Family Facing Taliban Threats

A German court has ruled that an Afghan family, endangered due to ties with German forces, must be granted entry visas. The family includes a former translator for the German army, now at risk under Taliban rule. The court found Germany’s previous refusal to issue visas unlawful, emphasizing the country’s moral responsibility. The decision highlights growing legal pressure on Germany to protect Afghan allies left behind after the 2021 withdrawal.
