Former prosecutors stranded in Islamabad plead for asylum

Tens of prosecutors who worked under the previous government and are now stranded in Islamabad recently held a protest rally in this city on Tuesday, demanding rights organizations including UNHCR to provide them asylum in a bid for safety.

These former prosecutors fled to the Pakistani capital city following the takeover of the Taliban in August 2021 fearing retaliation and for whom the temporary safety is turning into a “hell”.
