Scandalous deportation: Iraqi family separated overnight in Gröditz!

In the small town of Gröditz, Saxony, the deportation of an Iraqi family causes excitement and horror. On October 28, 2025, the parents and 13-year-old son were brought back to Baghdad from their long-time home in Germany. The 21-year-old son, Sazvin Kamiran Haji, stayed behind to take his journeyman's exam, which represents an important future prospect for him. How MDR According to reports, the deportation happened in the middle of the night and the family only had ten minutes to pack their things.

The situation was traumatic for everyone involved. Sazvin says that his little brother Warvan didn't understand why they were deported, since Gröditz was always their home. During the deportation, the mother went into shock, became unconscious and an emergency doctor was not even called. The police also took away the family's cell phones, making communication with the outside world impossible. Daily conversations with his anxious mother in Iraq show that the emotional burden is enormous, as Sazvin describes.

The family's integration story

The family has been living in Germany for four and a half years. She fled the PKK's terror from Duhok in Iraq and found a new home in Gröditz. The father worked as a hairdresser and volunteered in a retirement home, while the mother helped a senior citizen in everyday life. The planned application for employment toleration was rejected by the authorities because the father's knowledge of German was questioned, even though he spoke German every day.

The family's 90-year-old neighbor in particular expressed outrage about the demolition campaign in a supporter video and called for the family's return. The Saxon Refugee Council criticizes this deportation as inhumane and calls for a reassessment of the family's integration services. The authorities' unclear justification for the deportation also contributes to dissatisfaction among the population.

Social reactions and political debates

The previous episode sheds light on the current debate about migration policy in Germany. The Refugee Council points out that the Basic Law offers special protection to families, but this does not seem to apply to people in toleration. As current studies show, migration policy in Germany is becoming increasingly relevant; Asylum applications are falling, but debates about deportations are omnipresent. The political developments with a shift to the right, especially through the AfD, are also contributing to the strengthening of these discussions.

In view of the tense situation, there is already a demonstration to bring the family back, which is scheduled for November 9, 2025 in front of the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. People expect a rethink from the responsible authorities and demand that integration achievements be recognized. In a country that has at one point welcomed over a million refugees, this is more than a simple topic of conversation - it is a humanitarian duty. n-tv highlights the need for a rethink.

The current topics of migration policy and the associated challenges are symptomatic of social change. For Sazvin and his family, not only the return to Germany, but also the future and the realization of their dreams is in great danger. What's going on in the Gröditz home, and will the responsible authorities hear the call for help from those affected? Statista shows that the issue of migration remains extremely relevant not only for those affected, but also for society as a whole.
