π° Big news from Germany! A court has decided that it’s illegal to turn away people who are seeking asylum at the country’s borders.
When someone arrives at the German border and says they want to ask for asylum (which means they are looking for safety because they might be in danger back home), they cannot just be sent back. π©πͺπ
Before sending them away, officials need to check which European country is responsible for looking at their request. This is part of the EU’s “Dublin” system, which helps decide which country should handle the asylum claim. πͺπΊπ
This ruling came from Berlin’s Administrative Court, and it means that Germany must follow certain rules before making decisions about asylum seekers at the border. βοΈ
It’s an important decision that affects how people looking for safety are treated when they come to Germany. πβ€οΈ
