Nai, the organization supporting open media in Afghanistan, has issued an open letter to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, calling for urgent attention to the plight of Afghan journalists living in exile.
The group highlights that media workers in Pakistan are facing severe security threats and economic hardships.
Published on Tuesday, December 23, the letter appeals to the Pakistani government to intervene directly to ensure the safety and well-being of these journalists.
Many fled Afghanistan following the collapse of the previous government and are now living in limbo without legal status or protection.
Nai warned that neglecting the situation of these professionals could lead to tragic outcomes. This appeal comes amidst rising reports of harassment and forced deportation of Afghan refugees by Pakistani authorities, creating a climate of fear for those seeking safety.
