Criticism

German human rights organizations such as "Pro Asyl" have repeatedly criticized the "Bundespolizei" for its alleged heavy-handed approach in the deportation of asylum seekers which, in the case of Sudanese refugee Amir Ageeb, resulted in his death onboard a Lufthansa aircraft. For more information see Human rights in Germany.
