Green Party Expert Backs Syrian Deportations, Citing Humane Treatment Concerns

Green Party interior policy expert Lamya Kaddor has expressed support for deporting convicted criminals to Syria, provided prison conditions meet basic standards. However, she has also raised concerns about the feasibility and ethics of such a move, given the country's ongoing conflict and destruction.

Kaddor, who accompanied Federal Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on a visit to Syria, has firsthand experience of the country's conditions. She noted that many areas are destroyed and barely habitable, making mass deportations unrealistic. Despite this, she supports deportations in principle, provided the receiving country can ensure humane treatment.

Kaddor has criticized Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt for oversimplifying the issue of Syrian deportations. She accused him of discussing the matter without sufficient knowledge of the country's conditions. Unlike Dobrindt, Kaddor has visited Syria and witnessed the destruction caused by the war. She has recommended that Dobrindt visit the country to gain a better understanding of the situation.

Lamya Kaddor's stance on Syrian deportations reflects a balance between humanitarian concerns and the need for justice. While she supports deportations in principle, she emphasizes the importance of ensuring humane treatment and understanding the reality on the ground. Her criticism of Alexander Dobrindt highlights the need for informed decision-making in such complex and sensitive issues.
