Abdul Jabbar Takhari, Taliban’s Consul General in Pakistan, announced that the deportation process of Afghan migrants has intensified, with Pakistani police forcibly expelling them without allowing collection of their belongings and assets.
He described the humanitarian situation in migrant camps as dire, stating that asylum seekers are kept in harsh conditions for weeks with shortages of food and healthcare services.
Following recent clashes between the Taliban group and Pakistani army, the process of house searches and migrant arrests in Pakistan has intensified.
Migrants report that Pakistani police have increased arrests and in some cases demand money under various pretexts.
This occurs while the Pakistani government stopped the visa renewal process for Afghan citizens six months ago.
Fahmiya, a female protester who was active in women’s rights, had sought refuge in Pakistan due to security threats but now faces forced deportation.
Thousands of families, particularly journalists, former military personnel, and human rights activists awaiting resettlement in third countries, face the risk of arrest and forced deportation.
