The poor dear might be in danger back in Afghanistan, you see. Amnesty International doesn’t care in the slightest degree about the possibility that this migrant might injure or kill French people for exercising their freedom of expression or some other perceived slight. The Left cares only about the perpetrators of crimes, especially when they are non-white (which is highly debatable in this case, although according to current moronic standards, this Afghan would likely be considered non-white), non-Christian, and non-Western.
“Return to Afghanistan: ‘France is guilty of violating the principle of no forcible return,’ says the president of Amnesty International France,” translated from “Renvoi en Afghanistan : ‘La France s’est rendue coupable de violation du principe de non-refoulement’, estime le président d’Amnesty International France,” France Info, April 19, 2023:
For the first time since the Taliban returned to power, a man has been sent back to Afghanistan. The man had been sentenced in November 2020 for apologizing for terrorism for having praised the assassination of Samuel Paty.
“His words are unspeakable, but we cannot send someone back to a country where he is danger for his life,” declares Jean-Claude Samouiller, president of Amnesty International France, a guest of franceinfo on Wednesday, April 19. According to information from franceinfo, a man convicted of apologizing for terrorism was sent back to Afghanistan in March, a first since the Taliban’s return to power. This Afghan was sentenced to eighteen months in prison in 2020 for having defended the assassination of Samuel Paty.
franceinfo: Can we say that France has crossed a “red line” with this referral?
Jean-Claude Samouiller: France is guilty of violating the principle of no forcible return. And this is a major principle in international law. It is forbidden for any state to return a person to a country where he at risk of serious persecution, death or torture. France violated this principle. Especially since the situation in Afghanistan is completely deleterious. His words are unspeakable, we do not defend them, but we cannot send someone back to a country where he risks his life.
Do you fear other returns to Afghanistan?
There is Afghanistan, of course, but there are all the countries that are in major crisis. We are very vigilant about returns to Afghanistan, but also about returns to Iran. We know that some people have been subject to an OQTF and placed in an administrative detention center in preparation for deportation.
“We are very vigilant to prevent this kind of deportation. We had before the war in Ukraine documented the deportation of Chechens to Russia, as well as the deportation of Syrians to Syria. The vigilance is the same as in previous years, it is a permanent vigilance on the respect of this fundamental right.”
What recourse do associations like Amnesty International have in a contentious case like this?
It is essentially to alert public opinion and political leaders, and we also have the opening of litigation in the administrative court to precisely prevent these dismissals which are illegal. It is really important that justice prevents these dismissals which are absolutely illegal.

This Akbar will be a celebrated hero in Afghanistan for his jihadi beliefs.
David M says
If France deported all the Muslims who praised the Samuel Paty murder in private they would be down a couple of million Muslims.
Tatanka says
Bring it on, save humanity.
sukabumi jojo says
I agree with John1: this guy runs no risk whatsoever in Afghanistan. On the contrary, he’ll be hailed as a hero for supporting jihad. So who is Samouiller fooling? Himself, most likely.

France has never been known for their intelligence!
