91 Afghans freed from Pakistani prisons

KABUL (Pajhwok): About 91 Afghan nationals have been released from jails in Pakistan and return to their homeland, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) said on Monday.

In a statement, MoRR said the individuals, who had spent two to 27 days in jail, were freed from different prisons as a result of efforts by Afghan officials.

“These Afghans had been detained for lack of legal documents,” the statement said. They returned to Afghanistan.

The returned Afghans were transferred to their native areas after receiving assistance, the ministry added.
