Yes. Deporting asylum seekers back to dangerous home countries is totally inhumane. Australia has deported people back to Afghanistan who are known to have later been murdered or imprisoned there! The only exception to this are extremists who commit or advocate violence against other individuals, or other ethnic/ religious groups, or advocate the oppression of women and / or girls.
