Fatima, an Afghan refugee who fled to Pakistan, faces urgent challenges as her visa nears expiration. Despite her application for renewal, the risk of arrest looms large due to renewed efforts by the Pakistani government to repatriate millions of Afghans. Amid fear and uncertainty, police raids seeking undocumented refugees have intensified, leading to over 1,000 detentions recently. Legal experts express grave concerns for Afghan nationals, raising alarms over their precarious situations and the grim deadline set by authorities for expulsion.
"In 2023, Pakistan started a massive initiative to repatriate approximately four million Afghans who entered the country over the past 40 years."
"Later, we showed them our visa renewal application receipts and proof but police did not cooperate."
