KABUL (Pajhwok): The Amnesty International (AI) has expressed its concern over Afghan refugees’ living condition in Pakistan and said they did not receive due international attention.
The human rights watchdog on its twitter handle wrote: “Many Afghans living in fear of persecution by the Taliban had fled to Pakistan, where they have been subjected to waves of arbitrary detentions, arrests, and the threat of deportation.”
It added: “It is deeply concerning that the situation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan is not receiving due international attention.”
Earlier in a statement the AI said that the Government of Pakistan must urgently stop arbitrarily arresting and harassing Afghan refugees and asylum seekers, many of whom are fleeing persecution by the Taliban.
