The Saxon Refugee Council has once again criticized a deportation from Saxony and speaks of a "scandal of inhumane deportation practice". A seriously ill mother from a Georgian family had been separated from her husband and two children. While the woman remained in Germany, the father and children were deported from Leipzig at the beginning of the week. The responsible state directorate of Saxony announced that the "guidelines for repatriation practice" had been adhered to.
According to the Refugee Council, the woman is suffering from a brain tumor and is not fit to travel. Late on Monday evening, the police visited the family in a shared accommodation facility in Leipzig. It was decided to take the mother to hospital and to deport the father and the six and ten-year-old children. The family had been living in Germany for three years. They had all been learning German or had been present.
