Mr. CHAKZAI and likes of him like ANP etc must be fuming on this move. Their reaction to this action would be quite interesting though.

Why only Passport ? There should be even more stern visa policies for Afghans to Crossover into Pakistan.

 

[war&peace]

No need to let them cross the border.

 

[Khanate]

Long overdue.

Should stem the tide of drug trafficking and arms smuggling flowing in from Afghanistan.

Why only Passport ? There should be even more stern visa policies for Afghans to Crossover into Pakistan.

This is the very first step and next step of travelling only with valid visa might coincide with all Afghan refugees gone back to their homeland.

No need to let them cross the border.

This is what these Afghans do when they visit other countries. They are an embarrassment to Islam like Syrians. Should be banned till they evolve from Genghis Khan phase bloody neanderthals.




5 Afghan teens in Sweden charged with raping Afghan boy

By Associated Press December 6 at 11:35 AM

STOCKHOLM — Swedish authorities on Tuesday charged five teenagers from Afghanistan with aggravated rape for allegedly dragging another Afghan boy into a forest, threatening him with a knife and raping him.

The alleged assault took place in October in a forested area in the city of Uppsala, north of Stockholm.

Prosecutor Johan Stromback told The Associated Press that the five suspects are 16 and 17 years old, while the boy they allegedly assaulted is under 15. Stromback said all arrived in Sweden as unaccompanied minors seeking asylum.

The accused were charged with aggravated rape of a minor, a crime in Sweden that is punishable by at least four years in prison for adults and juvenile detention for minors, he said. The indictment calls for all five to be expelled from Sweden and barred from returning after serving any sentences.

According to the indictment, the accused punched the alleged victim in the head, raped him and spat on him. It said the assault “was planned and lasted for at least an hour” and left the boy with bruises, scrapes and bite marks on his back.


The accused allegedly filmed parts of the assault and threatened to post clips on social media if the victim went to police.

The indictment says two suspects have acknowledged some allegations, but none has confessed to a criminal act.

Stefan Wallin, a defense lawyer representing one youth, said his client neither admits nor denies the charges.

“He has no recollection of the events because of alcohol intoxication,” Wallin told the AP.

Defense lawyers for the others didn’t immediately return requests for comment.

So if someone acquires a fake passport they could just simply walk into Pakistan?

No other security checks, verification, visas, etc.

If people were dedicated enough to enter Pakistan, they will be willing to jump through multiple hurdles to do so.

I hope they continue to add to this policy.

Majority of these Afghanis overseas have illegally acquired Pakistani passports. No one gets any visa on an Afghan passport.

 

[Pakistansdefender]

why not now .............kick them so back .........or send them to their darling india ........
the mountain range that crosses afghanistan and pakistan is named hindu-kush ........meaning no hindu can enter beyond this into afghanistan ................yet they are now chummies and buddies ........they are more dangerous then indian , they need to be sorted with firm hand .

 

[Braith]

.
the mountain range that crosses afghanistan and pakistan is named hindu-kush ........meaning no hindu can enter beyond this into afghanistan ................ .

Thats not correct. Its named so because thousands of Hindu slaves used to die in cold and harsh conditions of Hindu kush when transported from India to Central Asia......so Hindu slaves were transported to the regions beyond Hindu Kush, not barred from entering it. Also Hindu traders used to travel across it...and in 17th century, Hindu Rajputs were stationed north of Hindu Kush by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan

 

[YeBeWarned]

there must be more strict regulations .... and any Afghan who wants to Enter Pakistan should acquire Valid Visa .. and why those Mighty and Rich Afghans are still coming to Pakistan ? their President has refused to take our money so why don't he take his fellow countrymen and keep them there ?
