Scandalous deportation: Yazid family from Uckermark to Iraq!

Lychen, Uckermark, Deutschland - In Brandenburg, the deportation of a Yazidi family after Iraq causes heated discussions and outrage. A few days ago, the family, who lived in Lychen with four underage children and had integrated well into the community, was torn from their life situation in the middle of the night. The Brandenburg refugee council criticized these home travel measures as "scandalous" because it took place shortly after a judicial decision, which was right for the family and made her complaint against the rejection of the asylum notice. This became known, while the family was already on the plane to Baghdad, such as rbb24 reported.

Kirstin Neumann from the Refugee Council expressed these events that the assessment of the genocide of Iraqi Yazids, which took place in 2014, was not adequately recognized when the asylum application was rejected. Neumann kept particularly warm with the criticism of the procedure, since the nightly deportation for the children was extremely traumatizing. According to Neumann, the Iraqi origin of the family, which are Kurdish Yazidis, should not lead to rejection.

The mayor of Lychen, Karola Gundlach, commented on the situation. She learned about the deportation by the head of the Pannwitz primary school, which the family's son attended. Classmates of the twelve-year-old Maatz have already started an online petition that emphasizes the risk of the family in Iraq and their successful integration in the Uckermark. Deutschlandfunk has reported that the refugee council calls for an immediate return of the family.

The district of Uckermark Gradier friendly. The responsible authorities have not made a statement and rejected an interview request from the RBB in order not to comment on the end of the procedure. The Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior also rejected the criticism of the deportation and exposed itself to the fact that the responsibility for further actions was at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

The situation raises questions: How can it be that despite a positive court ruling, deportation takes place? And what are the consequences for the family affected, which was apparently well integrated? The incident impressively shows how complicated and often incomprehensible the refugee policy in Germany is. The resentment among the population is growing while the worries about the Yazidi family continue.
