Following the Taliban takeover, Germany initially granted many visas to Afghan people. The new government then cancelled these visas, leading to a legal battle. The Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the government’s actions were not justified. The court wants each case to be examined carefully, considering human rights concerns. This decision involves a case with a government minister, Dobrindt.
