The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) on Sunday urged Pakistan’s police to cease their “oppressive actions” against Afghan refugees after reports of the expulsion of Afghans from Pakistan.
It came after the Afghan Embassy said on June 8 that Pakistani police had detained 250 Afghan nationals despite having travel documents. Some of them were expelled from the country, according to the AIHRC.
