RASC News Agency: The Afghanistani Women’s Political Participation Network has released a statement shedding light on the distressing circumstances faced by Afghanistani refugees in Pakistan and Iran. Through their resolution, which was published on Tuesday, October 10, the network expressed deep concern over the lack of attention from international organizations towards the plight of these individuals.
The resolution placed a significant emphasis on the deteriorating living conditions experienced by migrants in Iran and Pakistan, emphasizing that they are now living in a state of fear and deprivation. The network called upon the United Nations and its affiliated institutions to urgently address and resolve this ongoing crisis, with a particular focus on providing timely and appropriate solutions to aid the stranded migrants in both nations.
This distressing situation arises despite a considerable number of Afghanistani citizens seeking refuge in neighboring countries, predominantly Iran and Pakistan. Their decision stems from a range of factors, including apprehension towards the Taliban group, high levels of unemployment and poverty, as well as the group’s notorious historical record.
It is crucial to highlight the mounting challenges faced by Afghanistani refugees residing in these two countries, as they encounter numerous obstacles such as arrest and deportation. Additionally, the Pakistani government has implemented an earlier deadline, announcing its intention to identify, detain, and deport Afghanistani refugees who have entered the country unlawfully.
Pakistan’s plan to forcefully repatriate illegal Afghanistani refugees has sparked widespread reactions from legal institutions and international organizations, urging the nation to reconsider and rescind this plan. The gravity of the situation demands that immediate action be taken to protect the rights and well-being of these vulnerable individuals.
