PAKISTAN PROTEST

Protest against Pakistan's 'one-document regime' policy

epa11024328 Traders and tribesmen continue their sit-in protest for the 54th day after Pakistani authorities introduced the 'one-document regime' policy, in Chaman, near the Afghan border, Pakistan, 12 December 2023. As of November 2023, all Afghan nationals entering Pakistan will need to show a valid passport and visa. The new 'one document regime' policy replaces previous special travel permit allowances for divided tribes along the 2,600 km border. This move primarily affects tribes in southern Afghanistan, who regularly cross the border for work or family visits using a local document called a 'tazkira'. The change follows a nationwide crackdown on illegal Afghan immigrants in Pakistan and the announcement that the Pakistani government will deport illegal immigrants. EPA/AKHTER GULFUM
