105 Afghan Citizens Freed from Pakistani Prisons

Afghanistan consulate in Karachi reports that 105 refugees, including two women and ten children, have been freed from Pakistani detention and returned safely.

The consulate stated on X that the released citizens had been detained for about a month due to security issues along Sindh and Balochistan routes.

Taliban officials said the freed individuals crossed into Afghanistan via Spin Boldak in Kandahar on Monday, marking their safe return.

The group of returnees includes vulnerable individuals, such as two women and ten children, highlighting the human dimension of cross-border detention issues.

The release underscores the challenges faced by Afghan citizens abroad, particularly amid criticism over the lack of international attention to detained nationals.

Similar incidents in other countries have raised concerns about accountability and protections for Afghan citizens, emphasizing the need for diplomatic engagement and monitoring.

While the release of 105 citizens is a positive step, broader structural issues remain, requiring stronger international coordination to safeguard Afghan refugees abroad.
