The Sindh government is upholding humanitarian values while repatriating illegal immigrants to their country of origin, said Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon on Sunday.

A total of 307 individuals were deported from the Amin House Transit Camp between April 1 and 6, 2025, as part of a crackdown on illegal Afghan immigrants by the Sindh government, Information Minister Sharjeel Memon said.

Initially, a list of 313 individuals was prepared; however, following verification, 307 were repatriated to Afghanistan after the completion of legal formalities. Sharjeel stated that those deported included 79 children, 37 women, and 191 men. He explained that the Afghan nationals were being deported due to their illegal residence in the country. He emphasised that the campaign to deport illegal immigrants will continue, adding that international laws and regulations are being strictly followed in this process.

He stated that international laws concerning illegal immigrants are being observed, and Pakistan is repatriating illegal immigrants in line with these global principles.
