Pakistan denies UN accusation of detaining Afghan refugees early, violating Sept. 1 deportation agreement

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani interior ministry official on Wednesday refuted claims by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), which said authorities were arresting hundreds of Afghan Proof of Registration (PoR) cardholders and forcing them to leave the country despite agreeing to extend their stay till Sept. 1. More than 1.3 million Afghans in Pakistan hold PoR documentation, while 750,000 more have another form of registration known as an Afghan Citizen Card.
