Afghan migrants launch protest over deportation from Pakistan

Afghan refugees in Pakistan have protested outside the UNHCR office in Islamabad, claiming that their cases have not been properly examined over the last two years. Pakistan has set a deadline for over 1.7 million undocumented migrants to leave the country by November 1, warning that they will be arrested and deported if they fail to comply. The protesters argue that Afghan migrants are not granted visas by the Pakistani Embassy in Kabul and that the UNHCR is not providing them with the necessary papers for protection.
