30 deportees from Greece sent back after being held at Islamabad airport

[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday detained 49 deportees aboard a chartered flight from Greece at the Benazir Bhutto
... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in...

An interior ministry front man told Dawn.com that only 19 people on the plane had been verified on the basis of their documentation. The remaining 30 on board the flight were sent back, he added.

In a statement released earlier in the day, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said: "No unregistered deportee will be allowed to come to Pakistain and if that happens they will be sent back."
Does that mean these people have no documents? Is purgatory by airplane the price for discarding one's passport along the road to the asylum office? Angela Merkel has much to asnwer for, not least the CO2 burned produced by those airplanes as they shuttle back and forth with their rejected human cargo.
Despite having agreed on all issues in a recent meeting with the EU migration commissioner, one European country is violating Pak law, which is unacceptable, he added.

"Some countries are not doing enough to stop this unethical, inhumane and illegal process of deporting individuals," said the minister.
