Context: Pakistan has enforced the expulsion of Afghan migrants, with a primary focus on Afghans, who constitute the largest group of refugees in the country.
Over 4 million Afghans reside in Pakistan, with an estimated 1.7 million lacking proper documentation. Despite appeals from the UN, rights groups, and Western embassies, Pakistan remains firm in its decision to deport Afghan migrants, citing economic strain and security concerns. The deportations have been criticized, with some filing petitions to challenge the mass expulsion in the Supreme Court.
The Durand Line forms the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, a 2,670-kilometre international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in South Asia. The western end runs to the border with Iran and the eastern end to the border with China.

| Radcliffe Line | Drawn by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, it divided British India into India and Pakistan. Serves as the border between India and Pakistan (west) and India and Bangladesh (east). Named after the chairman of the Boundary Commissions, Sir Cyril Radcliffe. |
