Pakistan is stepping up its deportation of Afghan refugees. Three million face an uncertain future. The radical Islamic Taliban rule their homeland.

They have fled the violence and terror of the Taliban: For decades, millions of Afghans have taken refuge from conflict and war in neighboring Pakistan. Many have raised families and spent the better part of their lives there. But now, Pakistan is forcing Afghan refugees—both registered and undocumented—to leave. Since the deadline for voluntary departure expired at the end of March 2025, the authorities have begun arresting refugees and transferring them to deportation centers. Nightly raids are commonplace. In the long term, the government in Islamabad plans to forcibly deport three million Afghans, including human rights activists and opponents of the Taliban. They face mortal danger if they return to their country. How do the refugees who are still in the country live amid constant fear and uncertainty? And how are they fighting for their rights?
