Pakistan refuses to accept citizens deported from Europe
Pakistan will refuse to accept any citizens deported from mainland Europe, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday. Around 90,000 people were deported to Pakistan from around the world last year for a variety of offenses. In some cases, they had been sent back without proper determination they were Pakistan nationals, Reuters quoted a Pakistani spokesman as saying. EU member states signed a deal with Pakistan in 2009 allowing them to repatriate illegal immigrants and other nationalities who transited through Pakistan on their way to Europe. The agreement has now been temporarily suspended.
