Kidnappings of Afghan Children Increase in Pakistan: Returnees

Recently deported Afghans from the Spin Boldak crossing said that after the start of the second round of forced deportation of Afghans from Pakistan, cases of kidnapping of Afghan children in this country have increased.

According to them, their children are released for money after being kidnapped.

"We returned to our country as Afghan children were being kidnapped there and then released for money," said Dost Mohammad, one of the deportees from Pakistan.

"Due to the kidnapping of children and their release for money, we returned to our country," said Bashir Ahmad, another deportee from Pakistan.

Several other migrants who have been forcibly returned to the country complain about the violent treatment of the Pakistani police.

Asadullah, 55, who witnessed a violent incident with an Afghan migrant in Pakistan, said: "I myself saw Frontier Corps (FC) forces severely beating an old man. What was his crime that he was beaten so hard and oppressed?"

"I myself was imprisoned there, but I was able to free myself with money. In Pakistan, we were subjected to all kinds of oppression," said Nemat Khan, a deportee.

The head of the temporary camp for deported migrants in the Takhta Pul district of Kandahar said that newly returned Afghans from Pakistan face serious challenges.

Habibullah, the head of registration at the temporary migrant camp in Takhta Pul district of Kandahar, said: "Refugees come here who have even had their clothes, shoes, and valuables taken away and are severely psychologically damaged."

According to the Department of Refugees and Returnees, after the start of the second round of the forced deportation process of Afghan migrants from Pakistan, thousands of families have returned to the country, including hundreds of prisoners.
