Nicole De Moor, Belgium’s Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, called for a review of the asylum case of Jamil Qaderi, a pro-Taliban Youtuber. A parliament member of the country added that Qaderi supports a group which he claims to have escaped from.
According to RTL News, De Moor said that the process of seeking asylum is for protecting people from war and torture, not for those who promote violence.
Jamil Qaderi, an Afghan youtuber who has been living in Belgium since 2010 and had been granted asylum in the country two years ago, produces content that praises the Taliban.
He argues that the Taliban’s government is good for the people of Afghanistan because it provided security for the country.
Belgian officials reacted to this Afghan youtuber after around 8,000 people demanded Jamil Qaderi's deportation from Belgium in an online petition.
Those who signed the petition accused Qaderi of publicly supporting a terrorist group.
