Around a hundred protesters, some human rights activists, chant slogans, hold up signs and banners against the deportation of Afghans from Pakistan at a rally organised by the women's movement Aurat March in Karachi. "We call on the Pakistani government to reverse this decision, which is a violation of all human rights," a protester tells AFP. Islamabad has issued an order to 1.7 million Afghans it says are living in the country illegally to leave by November 1, or be deported. A series of holding centres are being established across the country in preparation for the Wednesday deadline. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
