EU: Northern countries discuss returning young Afghan asylum seekers

Via the Local:
Norway and other Northern European countries have begun negotiations aimed at returning teenage Afghan asylum seekers to their home country.

Just “a few details” and “approval” from authorities in Kabul appear to remain, news agency NTP reported Justice Minister Pål Lønseth saying. The discussion appears to have gone on for many months.

Sweden has led the talks embarked on by Britain, Denmark, Norway and The Netherlands. The stated aim is to send back kids whose application for asylum has failed because they have not demonstrated a need for “protection” against being sent back to war-torn Afghanistan.
