ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — At the Torkham border crossing in the Afghan province of Nangarhar, Pakistan reportedly handed over 27 Afghan captives to the Taliban authorities, according to Afghan officials, Khaama Press said.

been kept for months and endured nice treatment by Pakistani prison staff.

children, have earlier been freed from the Karachi prison, according to the

Ministry of Foreign Affairs has freed 2,342 Afghan inmates from various
Pakistani jails, who have since returned home.

countries like Pakistan and Iran for employment, and medical care, and to avoid
the present government's repressive laws or security threats.

seeking medical care or escaping persecution by the de facto government, lack
formal travel papers.
