Hamburg deportation observer resigns after nearly three yearsMerle Abel says private reasons were decisive, although the job’s strain also factored into her departure at year’s end.
- At Hamburg Airport, Abel monitored human rights and documented violations, but her contract barred intervention in deportations.
- Abel says the number of family separations observed at the airport doubled in 2025.
- Abel says an airport area often used for deportations has no accessible toilet.
- Abel also criticizes inadequate specialist medical care and the absence of child-protection monitoring at the airport.
Many people say, ‘I could never do this job.’ And I can understand that.— Merle Abel, deportation monitor for Diakonie in Hamburg, on the strain of the job.
