Thousands of Pakistanis have been illegally sent to various places across the world who are now dwelling in jails where they are inhumanly treated, the embassy further said and added that many of them have even lost their lives.
The letter added that hundreds of Pakistanis contact the embassy every day saying that they have no money to eat and appeal to be sent back to Pakistan.

On receiving the letter, the Foreign Ministry has sought a report from the Interior Ministry on the matter.
