Amidst a surge in crackdown by Pakistani police on Afghan migrants, figures by the Taliban-run commission for refugees show that at least 8,000 immigrants were expelled from Pakistan on Sunday, Oct 27, marking one of the highest daily deportation figures in recent months.
The commission said the migrants were deported through the Spin Boldak and Bahramcha border crossings in southern Afghanistan.
The surge in deportations follows a sharp deterioration in relations between Pakistan and Taliban after eight days of cross-border fighting earlier this month. In the aftermath, Pakistan’s prime minister ordered security agencies to intensify efforts to remove undocumented Afghan nationals.
Simultaneously, Iranian authorities also expelled 480 Afghan nationals on Sunday through the Islam Qala and Pul-e-Abrisham border crossings, according to the Taliban commission. These expulsions included both voluntary and forced returns.
Iran, like Pakistan, has continued mass deportations of Afghan migrants, citing concerns over unregulated labor and border security.
