Dozens of Afghans who were illegally in Pakistan are detained and deported in nationwide sweeps
Wednesday, 1 November 2023 Pakistani security forces have detained and deported dozens of Afghan nationals who were living in the country illegally after a government-set deadline for them to leave expired. The crackdown targets all undocumented or unregistered foreigners, but primarily affects the 2 million Afghans in Pakistan without documentation. The deportations, which have drawn widespread criticism, have begun in various cities across Pakistan. The Taliban-led administration in Afghanistan expressed concerns.
As Pakistan's deadline for deporting undocumented migrants draws near, Afghan refugees there are worried about their future.
