KABUL (Pajhwok): Some Afghan journalists held a protest rally in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, asking western countries like Canada to address their asylum issue.
After the political change in Afghanistan in August last year, Prime Minister of Canada Justine Trudeau said 40,000 vulnerable Afghans would be given the chance to immigrate to Canada, but only 16000 had so far managed to get refuge there.
Now stuck in Pakistan, Afghan journalists, who wish to be accepted as immigrants in western countries, rallied in Islamabad and asked the western countries to evacuate them because they faced different difficulties there.
