●  Detention for deportation

Poland’s Border Guard deported three of nine Afghan men to Kabul on 10 April 2026, even though the European Court of Human Rights had issued binding interim measures to stop the removals and lawyers say the authorities were informed before the flight. The article reports that both legal representatives and the Foreign Ministry sent this information in time, yet the operation continued, which experts describe as a serious breach of Poland’s international obligations.

The deported men had not been convicted of crimes in Poland, were denied a real chance to seek international protection, and were sent to Afghanistan despite the risks of persecution, violence, or even death under Taliban rule. Human rights advocates argue that state institutions should act with compassion and equal respect for every person.
