Angelina Jolie slams Pakistan's expulsion of Afghan refugees
American actor Angelina Jolie recently expressed deep concern and sadness over the mass expulsion of Afghan refugees from Pakistan. Jolie criticised Pakistan for abruptly pushing back Afghan refugees, expressing deep concern for their survival
In an Instagram post, Angelina Jolie slammed Pakistan for the unexpected decision to send back Afghan families. Emphasizing on Pakistan’s long history of supporting Afghan refugee families, the actor lamented the sudden expulsion owing to which women are being denied basic rights.
Jolie further explained that Pakistan’s long history of supporting Afghan refugee families and its sudden decision to oust the Afghans from their land has led to problems for women who are being denied basic rights.
“Pakistan has been a supporter of many Afghan refugee families for decades. I am saddened they would so abruptly push back refugees who face the impossible realities of trying to survive in today’s Afghanistan, where women have again been deprived of all rights and the possibility of education, many are being imprisoned, and there is a deep humanitarian crisis,” she wrote.
