Herbert F. (84) has been in a Taliban dungeon in Kabul for six months: the right-wing extremist blogger from Vienna had traveled to the Islamist country in the Hindu Kush despite warnings. He had wanted to show that, contrary to the opinion of experts, Afghanistan was a safe country of origin and that refugees could be deported there without hesitation - and proved the exact opposite.

    Since we’re breaking out the big boy quotes:

    charges by the Taliban

    Is the Taliban recognized as a legitimate State that has the power to criminally charge in an internationally recognized way? Can the Taliban call in favors from INTERPOL? Could be awkward…

    Europe

    He’s not charged with a crime in Europe which would be the relevant jurisdiction, wouldn’t it?

    isn’t a leader

    Sorry, founder, well in that case, I guess he gets a pass. Did the founder of the Nazis get the same courtesy or was it just the leader. Also, you’re saying that political party founder’s info is nowhere in public filings or records? Sounds problematic. People who like to stat anonymous don’t usually found national political parties trying to usher in the “good ol’ days” especially

    he’s a nobody

    See previous point, not sure the facts or law are on your side with that. That’s more “table-banging” territory

    Nazis gonna Nazi

    There’s that smile I love ;) I’m just glad we could agree at the end but sadly the “Junges sind Junges” defense is also not internationally recognized aha

    He’ll be fine, these guys are all about pulling onself up by their Nazi bootstraps and bootstrap their way to freedom and political autonomy. I have compelete faith in his competency to stand trial in Afghanistan, they tend to worry about that in passing judgement so he picked the right place to start his next political movement/chapter

    I’m rootin’ for him, this is a true UnterHund story
