Pakistan's highest court hears petition on forceful deportation of Afghans born in the country

Human rights activists filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking to halt the forceful deportation of Afghans in Pakistan without papers or proper documentation. The activists argue that the deportations violate the basic rights of the Afghans and put their lives at risk. The current interim government in Pakistan is being questioned for introducing major policy shifts without the authority to do so. The court has asked the government for a response and adjourned the hearing until next week. Security analysts believe that the petition is unlikely to impact the ongoing crackdown.
