A National Assembly panel was informed on Tuesday that around 10,000 Pakistanis were trapped in the jungles of Cambodia, prompting it to summon reports from both the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The revelation was made by the interior ministry during a session of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Human Rights.
Briefing the committee on human smuggling, the additional secretary for interior said that around 10,000 individuals were currently stranded in the jungles of Myanmar and Cambodia.
The stranded individuals are reportedly being forced into jungle clearing, agricultural labour and narcotics-related work.
