Over 200,000 Immigrants Returned To Afghanistan Via Torkham Since Mid-September
The Taliban’s commission formed to address Afghan immigrants’ problems announced that since September 17, more than 200,000 people have returned to Afghanistan only through the Torkham border crossing.
Pakistan's deadline for deporting immigrants was announced on October 3 and has been implemented from November 1 this year.
According to the decree attributed to Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban, a special commission has been formed for the transfer and relocation of the deported Afghan immigrants.
On Monday, on the X social media platform, the commission reported that the number of returnees since November 1 has reached 15,207 families, all of whom have returned to the country via the Torkham border crossing.
The number of immigrants who have returned to the country through the Spin Boldak crossing has not been announced so far.
Following the end of the one-month deadline, on November 1, Pakistan intensified the detention and forced deportation of Afghan immigrants without legal documentation in the country.
The country first detains undocumented immigrants and then, forcibly deports them.
Despite the repeated demands of the United Nations and several countries to stop the process of deportation of Afghan immigrants, Pakistan and Iran continue to deport them.
