CIVICUS speaks with human rights lawyer Moniza Kakar about Pakistan’s controversial campaign to expel Afghan refugees.
Pakistan’s large-scale crackdown aims to deport over a million Afghan refugees, including many who’ve called Pakistan home for decades. Thousands are being detained, homes are being demolished and families forcibly returned to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Human rights organisations condemn these actions as violations of international refugee protections, but despite global humanitarian appeals, deportations continue unabated.
