Nov 14, 2023

Hollywood star, Angelina Jolie, who is also a refugee advocate, has lambasted Pakistan as deep concern is rising about the survival of Afghan refugees leaving Pakistan. In an Instagram post, she said she was “saddened they would so abruptly push back refugees who face the impossible realities of trying to survive in today’s Afghanistan, where women have again been deprived of all rights and the possibility of education, many are being imprisoned, and there is a deep humanitarian crisis.” Terming Pakistan’s move of expelling “yet another example of the backsliding in human rights global”, Jolie said that his is a new tragedy in the long history of the suffering of Afghan people.
