Pakistan Frees Dozens Of Afghan Captives

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.

He claimed that owing to a lack of legal papers, Afghan inmates are being imprisoned in a number of Pakistani prisons.

The Directorate of Transfers in Torkham received the freed Afghan inmates, according to Khaama Press.

As per the statement, these captives have been kept for months and endured nice treatment by Pakistani prison staff.

According to Khaama Press, the Afghan Consulate General in Karachi, Sindh province, earlier declared that 60 more convicts had been freed as a result of The Afghan embassy staff's efforts.

They were freed from Pakistan's Sindh Central Jail.

Another 66 detainees, including eight children, have earlier been freed from the Karachi prison, according to the Afghan Consulate General.

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

The majority of Afghans go to nearby countries like Pakistan and Iran for employment, and medical care, and to avoid the present government's repressive laws or security threats.

Some Afghan refugees, especially those seeking medical care or escaping persecution by the de facto government, lack formal travel papers.

They were later apprehended and detained by Pakistani officials Khaama Press said.

The Taliban-appointed consul in Karachi, Pakistan, reportedly stated in May that more than 290 Afghan citizens were anticipated to be released in the following two months.

The attorney continued by saying that out of the 2,600 Afghan inmates detained in Pakistan, almost 2,350 including women and children had been freed and sent back home.

524 Afghan people accused of entering the country without legitimate travel permits were freed by Pakistan at the beginning of January 2023 Afghan media said.
