Afghan Women’s News Agency – Our sources in Karachi and Islamabad cities of Pakistan report that the police of this country raided the residences of Afghan immigrants and arrested them.
According to the sources, a large number of immigrants, including women and children, were arrested and during the arrest, the women were separated from their children, meaning that in some cases the police arrested the women without their children and their children were left to fend for themselves.
Zarifa, an Afghan migrant woman in Pakistan, told the Afghan Women’s News Agency that the Pakistani police arrested her brother, who was a former soldier of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, along with his family.
She said:”It was noon when the police came to the residence, surrounded the house and arrested my brother and his family.”
Laila Tawana, another female Afghan immigrant who immigrated to Pakistan due to security threats from the Taliban, says that she escaped from the police during the attack on her house, but her family was arrested by the Pakistani police.
“When the police attacked our blocks, I was outside the block and ran away, but they took my family,” she said.
In the video of the detained Afghan women published on social networks, the detained immigrant women say that they were separated from their children when they were arrested by the police.
In the video of one of the women who was arrested from Karachi, she says: “My children are not with me. When they brought us, they did not let us collect our children.”
Omid, one of the human rights activists from Afghanistan in Pakistan, also says that the Pakistani police attack the places where Afghan immigrants live and arrest them.
Former soldiers, human rights activists, journalists and protesting women have sought refuge in Pakistan due to security threats and are subject to arrest and forced deportation when their stay expires.
