Afghan refugees and human rights groups report severe restrictions on Afghan women’s rights under Taliban rule, including limitations on education, movement, expression, and private life, with reports detailing systemic discrimination against religious minorities as well. International organizations highlight that while some tourism is occurring, it may be used by the Taliban for propaganda purposes. Furthermore, there are concerns about international political maneuvering, such as European Commission plans to meet with the Taliban regarding potential Afghan evacuations, which critics view as hypocritical given the regime’s human rights record. In Greece, there is an observed trend of increasing rejection rates for Afghan asylum claims, raising concerns about a possible policy shift or lack of transparency in asylum decisions. The text also notes that while some European countries have conducted limited deportations to Afghanistan, general repatriation efforts remain stalled due to diplomatic issues, and the situation regarding safe third countries like Turkey presents its own legal complexities for Greece.
