BBC Europe – Afghan sisters deported from Austria after landmark EU ruling. Two Afghan sisters who lost a landmark asylum case at the European Union’s top court have been deported from Austria, aid agencies say. Khadija and Zainab Jafari and their three young children arrived in Austria in 2016, but were not granted asylum. The authorities decided they should be sent back to Croatia because it was their point of entry to the EU.
