Afghan engineer Faridoon Tofan faces deportation from Germany after Italy bus trip

Faridoon Tofan Germany deportation Italy bus trip BAMF Pro Asyl

Afghan national Faridoon Tofan fled the Taliban in 2022 and was granted asylum in Germany, where he worked as an engineer, learned German and lived for almost four years. In late April 2026 he made a two‑day bus journey to Italy, unaware that German law prohibited his departure. Upon returning to Germany he was arrested at Munich Airport and placed in deportation detention.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has ordered his removal to Afghanistan. A deportation flight from Leipzig to Kabul was scheduled for the night of 28 July 2026, but Tofan was not on board because an urgent legal application had not yet been processed. Human‑rights group Pro Asyl, represented by a lawyer, is challenging the decision, while Amnesty International has publicly urged that the deportation be halted, criticizing the BAMF’s handling of the case.
