Afghanistan refugees claim their houses were destroyed by Pakistan Army
Pakistani-Afghan refugees have claimed Pakistani Army personnel have destroyed their houses to force them to leave the country.
Refugees say that they have been living in Pakistan for a long time and called on refugees’ advocates for support, reports Tolo News.
“Refugee camps of Afghans have been destroyed ruthlessly in the past two days, they [Pakistan’s government] did not care about whether there were women or children inside the houses,” Haji Nazar, a Pakistan-based Afghan refugee, told the news channel.
“In Islamabad particularly in B-17, in Karachi and in other areas of Pakistan they [Pakistan’s government] are destroying houses of Afghans and even their personal belongings are being confiscated,” Mir Ahmad Rauf, head of the Afghan Refugees’ Council in Pakistan, told Tolo News.
The development comes at a time when the Pakistani government recently issued an ultimatum to illegal foreign nationals to leave the country by the end of October.
