Afghan deported from Germany commits suicide in Kabul hotel

(AFP) An Afghan man deported from Germany has been found dead in a hotel room in Kabul after committing suicide, officials said Wednesday.

The 23-year-old man, who has not been identified, was forcibly returned to the Afghan capital on July 4 along with 68 other failed Afghan asylum seekers.

He had been staying at a hotel used by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as temporary accommodation for returnees while he waited to go to the western city of Herat.
