Meanwhile, arrests and detention of Afghan immigrants in Pakistan are reportedly intensifying as the government’s deadline to deport migrants approaches, November 1, 2023.
The Afghan consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, said that since the start of this month, more than 120,000 Afghan migrants have left Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Afghan migrants say that as Pakistan’s deadline approaches, the number of detentions of Afghan migrants in the country is increasing.
These migrants said they were in a bad situation, cited by the Tolo News page.
“Recently, Pakistani police are tracking down Afghan migrants in big cities,” said Bezhan Hussaini, an Afghan migrant in Pakistan.
“Here in Pakistan, Afghan migrants face many problems and the police even go to the extent of entering the houses of migrants and arrest them immediately and take them to jail,” said Mohammad Omaid, an Afghan migrant in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate’s consulate in Karachi said the persecution of Afghan migrants by the Pakistani army continued.
According to Abdul Jabar Takhari, last month, more than 120,000 Afghan migrants left Pakistan.
“During this period, more than 120,000 Afghan migrants left Pakistan and this process continues. “We want the Pakistani government to extend this process so that migrants can leave the country in an orderly manner,” said Abdul Jabar Takhari, of the Afghan consulate in Karachi, Pakistan.
