Pakistan's plans to deport Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders to a Taliban-occupied Afghanistan from the 15th of April spells doom for those who fled them
AFGHAN refugee girl KAMILA; Eid doesn’t hold much meaning [to us] because my studies are being disrupted. Education is Eid for me, it means everything … Our studies will also be ruined and our future will be destroyed [if deported to 🇦🇫]

The Joint Action Committee for Refugees (JAC-R) condemns the Government of Pakistan’s ill-thought decision to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at risk under a brutal Taliban regime drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-6Q13…

Section 4 of Pakistan Citizenship Act, 1951 & Pakistan Citizenship Rules, 1952, provides birth-right citizenship to every individual born in Pakistan. Despite the statute, the Islamabad High Court has also held this right to be the most fundamental right.

With its birthright law, the Government of Pakistan’s decision to also deport those children born in Pakistan means that they are deporting Pakistani citizens
#PAKISTAN: Human Rights Charter RECOMMENDATION 4: Protect refugees and asylum seekers Amnesty International is extremely concerned by the decision of the new government to continue deportations of Afghan refugees, including Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders.
The deportation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan will put women and girls at unique risk, as forced returns seriously curtail their rights to education, work, movement, and in some cases, expose them to imminent threat of violence. The Government of Pakistan must halt all…
A Taliban-occupied Afghanistan is not a safe place for the women and children that Pakistan is in the process of deporting We ask that @Refugees and @UNmigration work closely with the Government of Pakistan to stop the deportations
Less than 6 days left before the validity of PoR cards ends, jeopardizing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Afghan Pakistanis We appeal to @Refugees and the Government of Pakistan to find a dignified solution before law enforcement harasses and detains people

Disturbing reports emerging that Afghan children are being rounded up by police and being produced at Malir Court Their crime? Pakistan’s lack of a refugee bill, failing to provide children a fair chance at life
Proof of Registration cards remain valid till 31 March, after which hundreds of thousands of Afghan Pakistanis will remain in limbo for their future @Refugees and the Government of Pakistan must work together to find a solution of dignity
Despite Pakistan having a citizenship law that allows those born in the country to become citizens, officials consistently discriminate against Afghan and Bengali communities The state can confidently count and provide ID to hundreds of thousands of people - it chooses not to
When JAC-R visited Afghan Basti outside Karachi at the height of deportations in November 2023, police had already marked homes with numbers of individuals possessing POR cards and ACCs, spreading confusion and panic amongst families No human should be treated like this
Continued expulsion of Afghan refugees n now a 2nd phase of deporting card holders is unconscionable. This must stop till the SC decides our petition. We have requested an urgent hearing of our interim relief application. Makes no sense not to prioritise this.

From Jan to 29 Feb 2024 36% of arrests of Afghans were in Sindh compared to 23% in KP. Consider KP is home to over 60% of Pakistan’s Afghans, but Sindh is home to 4% of Pakistan’s Afghans. Yo, Sindh, what’s your beef? None of the arrests of Afghans across Pak are justified
JAC-R is alarmed by reports of mapping Afghan Citizen Card holders by the Government of Pakistan Such exercices lead to increased harassment and surveillance which harm individuals and families We call upon @UNmigration to work with the Government of Pakistan
The SH Court observed that a provision in Citizenship Act, 1951 that gave a preferential treatment to d Foreigner wives of Paki men & deprived the same right for Paki women’s husbands who possesed nationality of other countries “is a clear discrimination". dawn.com/news/1819452
Absurd statement from Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UN, Munir Akram Countless families torn apart with several having no contact with loved ones. Thousands of Afghans in Pakistan living under a cloud of fear dawn.com/news/1819753/n…

I tend to use "refugees and other migrants."
Placing an “and” in between “migrants” + “refugees” incorrectly implies that refugees are not a subgroup of migrants + reinforces divisive narratives. That's why we have shifted our language to “migrants, including refugees”. Find out more: buff.ly/3tVIkhd #WordsMatter

د کراچۍ په يو شخصي پوهنتون کې د افغان کډوالو د ايستلو د پاکستاني پالیسۍ په اړه يوه ناسته يا بحث شوی. په غونډه کې وينا کوونکو د پاکستان دغه پالیسي منفي او ناکامه بللې او زياته کړې يې ده چې کېدی شي په نتیجه کې یې دغه پالسي د پاکستان دپاره د ډېر نقصان وړ ثابته شي.

I spoke at the Global Refugee Forum’s high panel event on Afghanistan, alongside representatives of Pakistan, Iran and Qatar, @SerajMahbouba and Daniel Endres, Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan. It was the only panel on Afghanistan in four years. A critical thread:
I’ve just returned from the Torkham border. I met with women who were forced to return from Pakistan and to the women humanitarian workers who support them. Endless stories of sorrow and strength. We must not lose sight of gendered dimensions of this crisis.
Proud to be representing some of the most oppressed and silenced among my countrymen, victims of Mass Expulsion, on the world's greatest TV channel @AlJazeera CJ Qazi Faez Isa and his colleagues may or may not listen, but the world is watching and history is being written.
The "voluntary" in countless cases was not voluntary. There has been harassment, pressure, and different methodologies to lure people and force them to leave #refugeerights
An outright lie by the caretaker Sindh home minister Haris Nawaz, who says that only those without documents are being deported If you truly stand by your statement, why did you not let lawyers and journalists enter your illegal detention centers to independently verify this?
In all probability the children in these photos were born in Pakistan and pursuant to judgments of the Islamabad High Court and clear statute law they are citizens of Pakistan. If such is the case, the Govt of Pakistan has just deprived them of their Pak nationality.
