Swiss plan to deport Pashtuns Asylum Seekers to Afghanistan sparks outcry

The Swiss plan to deport Pashtuns to Afghanistan has sparked widespread criticism, with many calling it discriminatory and unjust.

A recent report by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung has revealed a controversial proposal by Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) to deport certain Afghan asylum seekers, particularly those of Pashtun ethnicity, back to Afghanistan. The plan suggests that Pashtuns may face less risk upon return due to their ethnic ties with the Taliban, who currently control Afghanistan.
