(European Conservative) The United Nations has taken the scandalous step of intervening in Austria’s deportation of a convicted terrorist while maintaining noticeable silence on the broader crisis of migrant-related crime affecting communities across the continent.
The case involves a Syrian national who served a seven-year prison sentence in Austria for terrorist organization membership before being deported in July in the first such removal to Syria since 2011. The man was released last year but quickly got arrested again on separate charges. Following that, he was placed in a detention center awaiting deportation.
Authorities confirmed that the man had left Austria but have had no contact with him since he landed in Istanbul for his connecting flights. The UN Committee Against Enforced Disappearances has now formally requested that Austria investigate the man’s status, expressing human rights concerns.
