Pakistan opens holding centres ahead of Afghan deportations
Hundreds of thousands of Afghans living in Pakistan face the threat of detention and deportation, as a government deadline for them to leave sparked a mass exodus.
The government has given 1.7 million Afghans it says are living illegally in the country until November 1 to leave voluntarily or be forcibly removed.
Forty-nine holding centres, some capable of holding several thousand people, opened across the country on Wednesday to process and deport Afghans, state media said.
