KABUL: The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation in a statement on Sunday condemned the forced eviction of Afghan refugees’ homes in Balochistan, Pakistan.
“On February 17, police in Pakistan entered the homes of Afghan refugees in the Quetta and Kuchlak areas at night, forcibly removing several individuals and subjecting them to mistreatment,” the statement said.
According to the statement, during this crackdown, police arrested a number of refugees, including 65 children and 30 women, and subsequently expelled them from Pakistan.
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations deemed the action of the Pakistani police as contrary to all Islamic and international principles and laws and called on international organizations to provide assistance for Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
