Pakistan's Massive Deportation Plan Targets Afghan Immigrants

Pakistan has announced a mass deportation of "illegal immigrants," including Afghan refugees, with a November 1 deadline for them to leave the country. The decision comes after claims that Afghan nationals were involved in terrorist attacks in Pakistan. The presence of Afghan refugees in Pakistan has long been controversial, with previous crackdowns and deportations. Businesses and properties of illegal aliens will be confiscated, and strict legal action will be taken against anyone providing accommodation or facilities to illegal aliens. Pakistan is home to one of the world's largest refugee populations, with the majority coming from Afghanistan. Human rights organizations have expressed concern over the situation and called for international attention.
