Police in Pakistan's Punjab province announced the deportation of over 35,000 undocumented foreign nationals, including many Afghan migrants. This mass expulsion is a direct part of the Pakistani government's strict policies against refugees lacking proper legal documentation and residency status.
Police officials confirmed that hundreds of other foreign citizens remain held in detention centers as the structured deportation process actively continues. Alongside these expulsions, security measures have been heavily intensified across Punjab province, particularly in the capital city of Lahore.
United Nations human rights organizations have strongly warned against the forced return of Afghan asylum seekers. They emphasize that deporting vulnerable groups like women, children, and civil activists exposes them to severe risks and significant human rights violations in their home country.
