PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court has prevent government from forcibly eviction of Afghan singers
In Peshawar High Court, the case of forcibly eviction of Afghan singers was heard by Justice Ijaz Anwar and Justice Waqar Ahmed .
In Peshawar High Court, the petition of Afghan musicians for political asylum was heard. Justice Ijaz Anwar and Justice Waqar Ahmed heard the application.
Advocate Mumtaz Ahmad appeared for the petitioners and said his clients had challenged the decision of the federal government to forcibly repatriate all unregistered Afghans, including the petitioners.
He said that the high court earlier issued an order stopping the federal government and its law-enforcement agencies from harassing his clients and acting against them until further orders.
The lawyer added that the high court also ordered the clubbing of the two petitions.
The counsel claimed that the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban rendered the lives of the local artists and transgender people “very dangerous and miserable,” as the government had announced that it wouldn’t allow Afghan artists to perform in the country.
He added that like thousands of other Afghans, his clients fled their country along with their families and took shelter in Pakistan.
The lawyer said that the petitioners and their families were registered by the UN refugee agency, which gave them a token number, and their cases were under process.
