Another forty-five Afghan nationals have been released from jails in Pakistan, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) said on Sunday.
In a statement, MoRR said these individuals were freed from different prisons after spending three to 15 days following efforts by Afghan officials.
“These Afghans had been detained for lack of legal residency documents,” it said. They returned home through Torkham crossing.
The returning Afghans were introduced to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for assistance, the ministry concluded.
