The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations has reported that over 120 Afghan refugees have been successfully released from Pakistani prisons in the last five days.
According to a recent statement, it has come to light that Pakistan’s security agencies have detained over 500 Afghan refugees, comprising both documented and undocumented individuals, within the past seven days.
This significant development underscores the complex challenges Afghan refugees face seeking safety and shelter in neighbouring countries amid Afghanistan’s ongoing instability and conflict.
The reasons behind these detentions and the conditions under which these refugees are being held remain a matter of concern, raising questions about their rights, legal status, and humanitarian treatment.
According to the statement, efforts yielded success, as 120 individuals with legal documents have been released from detention.
The ministry is actively working to secure the release of the remaining detainees, emphasizing ongoing efforts.
