Vienna has deported a convicted Afghan criminal to Kabul, the first such deportation from Austria since the Taliban returned to power in the war-ravaged country in 2021. Austria’s Chancellor Christian Stocker confirmed the deportation on Tuesday morning, writing on X : “Anyone who doesn’t follow our rules will have to leave.” He added: “With this, Austria is sending a clear message: Zero tolerance toward all those who have forfeited their right of residence through criminal offenses.”
