Second Phase of Migrant Deportation; Over 50 Afghans Expelled from Pakistan

On the first day of the second phase of deporting Afghan migrants from Pakistan, more than 50 individuals were forcibly expelled from the country.

The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation continues to assure full attention to the challenges faced by the returned migrants.

Ali Reza Karimi, an expert in the field of migration, said: 'We urge the Islamic Emirate to urgently engage with high-ranking officials of the United Nations in Pakistan, as well as the NGOs and offices responsible for migrants there, to have meetings that could convince the Pakistani authorities that deporting them to Afghanistan could be a major mistake.'

However, some Afghan migrants residing in Pakistan find Islamabad's policies towards migrants to be spiteful.

They are calling for Islamabad to reconsider their deportation.

Akhtar Mohammad, an Afghan migrant in Pakistan, said: "They told undocumented migrants to leave. We were deported in a very harsh manner."

Mohammad Younus Qarizada, another Afghan migrant in Pakistan, said: "Our other request from the United Nations is to arrange a program with the Pakistani government to ensure that those under the UN protection are not harassed, mistreated, or deported by the Pakistani government and police."

According to information from the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, currently, three and a half million Afghan migrants are living in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, in the first phase of deporting Afghan migrants from Pakistan, nearly six hundred thousand Afghan migrants were forcibly expelled from the country.
