The meeting in Brussels in June will sort out practical issues to enable the deportation of Afghans who have not been granted asylum in Europe. The invitation has the support of a majority of EU countries but is being criticized by human rights organizations as well as several members of parliament.

What should we do next time? Maybe let the ayatollahs speak in parliament? Dutch Raquel García Hermida-Van Der Walle said in an EU debate on Wednesday, where Swedes Abir Al-Sahlani (C) and Hanna Gedin (V) were also strongly critical.

"This is not migration policy. This is complicity," Gedin said.

The Taliban regime is based on a strict interpretation of Sharia law and is characterized by strong control over society, especially women's lives and rights. A recent decision was also made to legalize marriage for nine-year-old girls.
