(MENAFN- Khaama Press) The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation under the Taliban announced on Thursday, January 16th, that 16 Afghan migrants who had been imprisoned in Pakistan due to lacking legal residency documents have been released.
The ministry stated in a statement that these individuals have returned to Afghanistan following their release.
According to the statement, these migrants spent between two to six days in Pakistani prisons.
The Ministry of Refugees and Returnees also announced yesterday that 19 Afghan nationals were released from Pakistani prisons and returned to their home country.
In a press release, the ministry mentioned that these citizens were detained by Pakistani police in various parts of the country due to their lack of legal residency documentation.
