Pakistani Police Deporting Afghan Migrants, Including Sick Women: Migrants
Afghan migrants in Pakistan told Amu TV that Pakistani police have intensified forced deportations, compelling even sick women to leave the country.
An unidentified migrant described an incident where police attempted to deport a sick woman. He said her condition worsened and she fainted during transfer, prompting police to abandon her near a hospital and depart.
"Pakistan police have no mercy," the migrant said. "They wanted to deport sick women too. When this woman's condition worsened and she fainted, the police left this sick woman near the hospital and left."
Separately, the Taliban's Supreme Commission on Migrants stated that Pakistan and Iran deported at least 75 Afghan migrant families on Sunday, 17 Hoot. The commission said the forced return of migrants from neighboring countries continues, with some families crossing back into Afghanistan via border points.
