Germany deported a group of Egyptians to Cairo over violations of residency requirements, including those whose asylum requests were rejected, Egyptian airport officials said Thursday. The Egyptians say that 100 of their countrymen were sent home, nine of whom had been held in custody and were delivered without passports. German officials say the returnees were accompanied by 38 other officials, including police, doctors and interpreters, not 50 police. Police investigated the individuals and the circumstances surrounding their deportations, including whether any had warrants issued for their arrest. Compared with many other European countries, Germany has generous asylum laws.
