German Protestant Church Funds Afghan Lawsuits Against Government with €100,000

 

Germany’s Protestant Church has allocated €100,000 from donations to support lawsuits filed by Afghan citizens against the German government. The lawsuits aim to secure the right of entry and protection in Germany.

The funds were directed to the civil organization “Kabul Luftbrücke,” which assists Afghans who previously worked with German institutions or face threats after the withdrawal of the Bundeswehr from Afghanistan.

The donations cover legal fees and court proceedings intended to pressure German authorities to grant entry rights.

The move sparked significant debate in Germany, with critics accusing the church of interfering in politics, while supporters argue it reflects humanitarian responsibility.
