Situation of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban's adoption of the Criminal Procedure Code for Courts
Mr President! One is the Taliban and its unacceptable code of criminal procedure, the other is our oh-so-value-oriented EU Commission. It is now inviting the Taliban directly to Brussels. Of course, this does not equate to any recognition of this inhumane, reactionary regime. After all, it's not about diplomacy, it's about deportation. Deportation Minister Dobrindt and his 19 friends, as well as Commissioner Brunner, do not seem to be quick enough to throw overboard the last vestiges of humanity and the rule of law in dealing with refugees. Colleagues! Last year alone, the Taliban publicly executed six people in stadiums – and the Commission wants to talk seriously to these people. This is where the federal government comes in. Even Foreign Representative Kallas had to admit yesterday that there is no basis for talks with the Taliban. Mr Brunner, your plans are not only illegal, they are a disgrace to Europe. There must be no cooperation with the Taliban. They cannot be deported to Afghanistan.
