UK Home Secretary refuses to rule out sending rejected Afghan asylum seekers back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has refused to rule out sending rejected Afghan asylum seekers back to Afghanistan, as she 'monitors very closely' EU-Taliban returns talks. The policy would reverse current UK practice, which bars returns because the UK does not recognise the Taliban government. Afghans were the most common nationality arriving by small boats in the year to June 2025 (6,360 arrivals), with grant rates falling sharply from 99% in 2023 to 38% in H1 2025. The UN has described Afghanistan as a 'graveyard for human rights' enforcing 'gender apartheid'.

Home Secretary Refuses to Rule Out Returns of Rejected Afghan Asylum Seekers to Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has refused to rule out sending rejected Afghan asylum seekers back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, confirming she is monitoring EU-Taliban talks on a returns programme. The policy would reverse current UK practice, which prohibits returns because the UK does not recognise the Taliban government. Afghans are the most common nationality arriving by small boats, with 6,360 arrivals in the year ending June 2025, while grant rates for Afghan asylum have fallen sharply from 99% in 2023 to 38% in early 2025.

Home Secretary Refuses to Rule Out Returns of Rejected Afghan Asylum Seekers to Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan

UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has refused to rule out sending rejected Afghan asylum seekers back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, as she monitors closely talks between Kabul and EU countries about a returns programme. The policy would reverse current UK practice, which does not recognize the Taliban-led government. Afghans were the most common nationality arriving by small boats in the year ending June 2025, with 6,360 arrivals. The UN has described Afghanistan as a "graveyard for human rights" enforcing "gender apartheid".
