10:01Now PlayingJournalist Shah Meer Baloch joins Emma to discuss the growing Afghan refugee crisis. Pakistan has initiated the arrest and deportation of Afghan refugees who missed the deadline to leave the country, targeting those estimated to be around 2 million without proper documentation. This move is part of Pakistan's new anti-immigrant policy, with at least 200,000 individuals having already returned to Afghanistan voluntarily. Sarfraz Bugti, Pakistan's acting interior minister, emphasized a strict stance against illegal refugees, stating that authorities have arrested dozens across the country, employing measures like door-to-door checks and geofencing. The forced return policy has faced criticism from UN agencies, rights groups, and the Taliban administration, which called for more time for undocumented Afghans. Despite a significant rise in Afghans entering Pakistan after the Taliban's takeover, many have been residing and working in the country for an extended period.
