Afghan Taliban set for EU migration talks slammed by rights groups. The EU is expected to hold talks on returning failed Afghan asylum-seekers with a Taliban delegation in Brussels Tuesday after Belgium issued one-day visas for the team, overriding criticisms from human rights groups. The 27-member bloc does not recognise the Taliban administration, but the European Commission invited a team from Kabul for discussions amid a push to boost deportations.
