Pakistani police have initiated a fresh and aggressive wave of detentions and forced deportations of Afghan migrants across various cities. This strict enforcement began immediately following the expiration of the deadline for voluntary departure.

Pakistani authorities have explicitly stated that even individuals holding expired citizenship cards and United Nations documents will face deportation. Widespread search operations are actively continuing in provinces such as Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.

Human rights organizations and the United Nations have repeatedly urged Pakistan to halt these forced deportations immediately. The deported individuals include journalists, civil activists, and former military personnel who face severe risks upon returning to Afghanistan.
