Scholz supports deportations of Afghan 'convicted criminals'
The deportations come a week after a deadly knife attack in the town of Solingen which left three people dead and eight others wounded.
Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called the return of 28 Afghan nationals to Afghanistan a "clear sign" that foreign-born criminals won't be spared deportation.
A government spokesperson said on Friday that the Afghan citizens were all "convicted criminals" but did not respond to a request for comment to clarify their offenses.
