Photo Gallery The 69th Afghan
As Germany's interior minister cracked a joke about deporting 69 refugees on his birthday last week, the news emerged that one of those Afghan deportees had committed suicide in Kabul. The man's treatment raises serious questions about the country's deportation policies.
