319 Pakistanis expelled from Turkey reach Lahore
 More than 300 Pakistanis deported from Turkey for illegally trying to reach Europe arrived in Lahore and were questioned by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and immigration personnel at the airport on Monday. The 319 deported Pakistanis were brought home aboard a special flight earlier in the day. Sources said that the deported persons planned to enter Europe via Turkey, but were arrested at Turkey's border with Greece. They were jailed in a Turkish prison for a year. They were expelled after the Pakistan embassy issued emergency papers for their travel back to Pakistan, sources said. They said that most of the expelled persons aged between 18 and 28 years and were from Gujranwala Division, while two persons belonged to Karachi. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-29 |
