RASC: According to a CNN report, Pakistan harasses Afghanistani refugees waiting to immigrate to the United States and threatens them with deportation.
Afghanistanis who fled to Pakistan after their country fell to the Taliban and are waiting to immigrate to the United States say they are now facing the risk of deportation from Pakistan.
CNN revealed that a number of Afghanistanis who were cooperating with the United States and were told that they were eligible for resettlement in the United States, were forcibly deported from Pakistan to Afghanistan, where the Taliban took control of the country. In 2021, they escaped from it, they will be returned.
Some Afghanistani citizens who were waiting for American visas told “CNN” that the Pakistani police harassed them and demanded money from them.
A number of them have said that despite being in danger, they were deported by the Pakistan Police this summer and left at the border of Afghanistan.
An asylum seeker said: “Pakistani forces did not hand them over to the border forces of the Taliban group and released them at the border and told them to return to Afghanistan. My four children, my wife and I were deported together.”
According to this report, this deported Afghanistani citizen says that he is now living secretly in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
According to the statistics of the US Department of State, 90,000 Afghanistanis have been resettled in the United States, but some are waiting for their cases to be processed due to the large volume of immigration cases.
However, the US government has said that it is committed to the Afghanistanis with whom it has worked, and Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not commented on this.
