42 Afghans freed from Pakistani prisons arrive home

KABUL (Pajhwok): Freed from jails in Pakistan, 42 Afghan nationals arrived to their homeland via Torkham crossing, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) said on Saturday.

In a statement, MoRR said these individuals spent two to five days in Haji Camp prison and were released 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 returning Afghans were transferred to their native areas after receiving assistance, the ministry added.
