Kabul: Afghan refugees demonstrated in front of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Islamabad against the delay  in processing their immigration papers.

They chanted "kill us," and wore shirts with the same slogan, Tolo News reported.

They called on the UNHCR to expedite their registration, the distribution of immigration cards, and their admission to asylum-seeking countries.

“The Afghan protest with the slogan 'kill us' has reached the fifth day. On the third day, a number of UN representatives came and saw our problems up close," a protester was quoted as saying by Tolo News.

“We did not get what we wanted, we protested, we do not want anything anymore, our slogan is to kill us,” said the protesting asylum seeker.

Interestingly,  Afghan asylum seekers in Indonesia also protested against the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for not handling their immigration cases recently.
