In the middle of the corona crisis, the Freising district council had Imtiaz A. arrested in order to deport him to his home in Pakistan. He ended up in the detention center - although no deportations are possible. He was released after 38 days.

Freising - His fate moved many readers of our newspaper: Imtiaz A. was recently arrested during an official visit to Freising. The well integrated asylum seeker should be deported to his home country Pakistan. Despite the corona crisis. Because all international flights were canceled and deportations were not possible, he had to stay in prison for 38 days. Now he's free.

"Imtiaz was released from the Erding prison on Wednesday evening," reports his supervisor, who does not want to be named. The district office had previously ordered the removal of detention pending deportation. Our newspaper has not yet received a letter on his case, but on the case of another Pakistani handled in parallel by the authorities. The end of the detention is justified with the cancellation of the flight. It goes on to say “it is not foreseeable when return measures will take place again. Therefore, the person concerned must be released from detention pending deportation ”. The same should apply to A.

District administrator had arrested well-integrated Pakistanis

As reported, the district office had the 25-year-old arrested on March 16, although he was well integrated, had worked at the airport for more than a year and had no criminal liability. Imtiaz A. had already initiated the procurement of a passport from Pakistan requested by the authority. Refugee officers and lawyers fought for him, pointing out that the measure was disproportionate in view of the corona-related suspension of deportations. According to the Federal Court of Justice, detention "in stock" is not permitted. The district office has now bowed to that. 

Imtiaz A. is in custody, and there is also the fear of corona

Imtiaz A. cannot yet enjoy his freedom. The detention pending. "He is very windy," reports his supervisor. “You can feel how great the psychological stress was for him. Again and again he gets images of the imprisonment in his head. ”There is also the fear of Corona. According to the district office, there are two infected people in his accommodation. But above all, deportation still threatens. "The detention has thrown us back," reports his caregiver. A. first need a work permit. His employer must also be contacted. In addition, there are legal fees. It is possible that he also has to bear the costs of detention himself. His lawyer wants to clarify whether the long detention was illegal.

Refugees are still in detention

For Dieter Müller from the Jesuit Refugee Service, who looks after refugees in detention pending deportation, it is clear that two or three weeks ago it was foreseeable that deportation to Pakistan would not be possible. "Thanks to the good cooperation with the social service in the Erding prison, at least documents and signatures for the lawyer could be obtained quickly." Müller also thinks of the fate of the 25-year-old. "As far as I know, two people are currently detained in Eichstätt, five in Erding: We are continuing to work to ensure that detention pending deportation is empty."
