The government of Pakistan has decided to deport Afghan refugees and migrants from that country. Following this decision, the Pakistani government has so far detained hundreds of immigrants (including immigrants with legal residency documents) in different cities across the country. In many cases, Pakistani police have beaten large numbers of immigrants and not only insulted and humiliated these people, but also detained them in special shelters. Reportedly, those detained are treated like criminals, their health and nutritional conditions are alarming, and these people are deprived of the most basic human rights. Meanwhile, children, the sick, the elderly, and women are in poor condition and in urgent need of legal and humanitarian assistance.
