Widespread reactions to the detention of Afghan immigrants in Islamabad

The embassy of the Islamic Emirate in Pakistan has announced the arrest of nearly 800 Afghan citizens in Islamabad. Sardar Ahmed Shakib, head of the Embassy of Afghanistan in Islamabad, said that although Afghan citizens had visas and residence documents, they were arrested by the Pakistani police. Mr. Shakib added that the number of those caught is between 700 and 800 people. Even some people have been dragged from their homes and arrested and taken to a center where Afghans were killed and sent to the border. Afghan immigrants in Pakistan have also said that the police of this country search the houses day and night for immigrants. Shirin, an Afghan immigrant in Pakistan, said that in the area where we were, a number of women and children were mercilessly taken and transferred to the camps, unfortunately one of the women in the camp had a heart attack. Abdullah Mohammad, a member of the Council of Afghan Migrants in Pakistan, said that group attacks by the Pakistani police have been going on for the past six days in migrant areas, day and night. Police come behind the houses of immigrants. On the other hand, Amnesty International, the Organization for the Protection of Journalists and the former US envoy to Afghanistan have called for an immediate stop to the detention and forced deportation of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan
