Supreme Council of Afghans in Exile Condemns 'Inhuman' Treatment of Migrants in Pakistan
The Supreme Council of the People of Afghanistan in Exile has issued a global call condemning the 'inhuman' treatment faced by Afghan migrants in Pakistan.
The council's statement highlights family separations, deprivation of basic human rights such as security and the right to choose residence, and children living in constant fear amid escalated expulsions and arrests by Pakistani authorities. These measures followed tensions between Islamabad and the Taliban.
"The silence of the international community and human rights institutions on this oppression is nothing but complicity," the council stated, urging immediate action to protect Afghan migrants.
The group warned that refugee rights organizations risk losing their legitimacy if they remain silent on the issue. It called on global bodies to intervene and halt the expulsions.
The statement notes that various international organizations have previously criticized Pakistan's actions toward Afghan migrants and demanded a stop to the deportations, but Islamabad has not changed its policy.
The council emphasized the dire situation for Afghans who fled to Pakistan seeking refuge, now facing heightened persecution and forced returns.
