Description
Afghans have poured into Pakistan in their millions during decades of successive wars, many living in aid camps for generations with restricted access to education, healthcare and employment.
Around 1.3 million are registered refugees and 880,000 more have legal status to remain in Pakistan, according to the latest United Nations figures.
Police and politicians have said a recent round-up targets only those without legal status and is in response to rising crime and poor regulation of immigration that is straining resources. Afghans say the arrests have been indiscriminate.
