The rules of the German court are illegal asylum seekers on the Polish border Human Rights News

Judges say that Berlin broke the European Union law by refusing to enter Somali asylum seekers.

A court in Berlin ruled that Germany violated the asylum law when it deported three Somali citizens on its borders with Poland in a decision challenging Chancellor Friedrich Mirz. A new, aggressive migration situation.

The three asylum seekers – two men and a woman – were repeated by the border police at a train station in Frankfurt Deir Oder, a city on the eastern border in Germany.

“The applicants were unable to demand Germany’s entry beyond the border crossing,” the court said in a statement on Monday. “However, rejection was illegal because Germany is obligated to address their claims.”

Officials were martyred that asylum seekers arrived from a “safe country” as reasons for their rejection.

However, the court decided that the expulsion was illegal under the rules of the European Union, specifically the Dublin regulation, which requires Germany to evaluate asylum claims if the state responsible under the agreement.

It represents the first legal ruling of this since the Mirz -led coalition took office, and rides a wave of anti -immigration feelings that helped in strengthening The far -right alternative to the Germany partyNow the second largest political force in the country in Parliament.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt defended deportations, saying that the asylum system fails under pressure. “The numbers are very high. We are committed to our practice,” he told reporters, adding that the court will receive legal justifications for the government’s position.

Immigration policies are in doubt

But opposition lawmakers rushed to benefit from the ruling. Irene Mihalik described it as a “severe defeat” of the Mirz government, accusing of bypassing its powers “for popular purposes.”

She said: “The border blockade was rejecting the European Dublin regime and abusive that our European neighbors offend,” she said.

Carl Cope, the administrative director of the Pro Asyl company, a group of immigration, said that the expulsion of the Somalis reflects a “unilateral practice of national action” in the asylum policy and called for their return to Germany.

The verdict also casts doubts about the broader migration agenda in Mirz. In May, his government provided a directive to the unconfirmed response to the borders of Germany, including those seeking asylum – a sharp exit from the policy of former Chancellor Angela Merkel the most open during the 2015 migrant crisis.

Last month, the European Commission proposed a mechanism at the level of the mass that would allow member states to reject asylum seekers who have gone through a “safe” state. This measure, which is criticized by rights groups, is still awaiting approval on a wide range of national parliaments and the European Legislative Authority.
