They\u2019re not involved in terrorist activities.

They\u2019ve been forced to leave this country in a very miserable condition,\u201d Hyder said, adding that it was \u201cvery difficult to leave after spending a lifetime in a country and then being forced out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan is not a signatory to the 1951 UN convention that protects the rights of the refugees. The country also lacks domestic laws to protect the refugees as well as procedures to determine the status of individuals seeking international protection within its borders.<\/p>\n<p>Rights group Amnesty International has warned of the risk of persecution for the refugees returning to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-source\" dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/af.dawatmedia24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/arrow-down-2.png\" width=\"155\" height=\"139\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 800,000 Afghans are likely to be expelled in the second phase of the controversial plan. 30 Jun 2024 SOURCE:\u00a0AL JAZEERA Pakistan is set to start the second phase of a controversial plan to send undocumented Afghan refugees back to their country.
