I feel sorry for her .
She lived her life as an orphan , Poor , is now a widow and a patient of hepatitis C .
Government should take some charge from her and let her free and send her back to Afghanistan with honour
.
Exactly. She should be released on humanitarian basis. Whole world sympathies with her.
Pakistan Will Deport Nat Geo’s Famous ‘Afghan Girl’ For Living On Illegal I-D Card
A Pakistani judge on Friday ordered the deportation of Sharbat Gula, the green-eyed "Afghan Girl" whose 1985 photo in National Geographic became a symbol of her country's wars, after finding her guilty of illegally obtaining a Pakistani identity card.
Gula, now in her 40s, also was sentenced to 15 days in jail and fined 100,000 rupees ($955.11).
She had been living in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar for years with her husband and children. Her family has said her Pakistani husband died a few years ago.

It was not immediately clear when Gula would be freed or deported, as she has already spent 10 days in jail, said an official at the Afghan consulate in Peshawar.
"She may spend five or four more days in Pakistan as a prisoner but we had made a special request to the Pakistani authorities to allow her to return Afghanistan either today, Friday, or Saturday," he said on condition of anonymity.
Judge Farah Jamshed of an anti-corruption and immigration court in Peshawar convicted Gula under the Foreign Act.
She has been in custody since her arrest on Wednesday last week on accusations she was using a forged Pakistani identity card.

She was recently shifted to a hospital with a fever and high blood pressure, said Dr Ghulam Subhani, medical superintendent of the city's Lady Reading Hospital, where her family have visited her.
She did not appear in court on Friday for the verdict.
Gula was for years the face of Afghanistan's suffering, after National Geographic published her image as a young refugee, her defiant, pained eyes staring out from an unsmiling face, framed by a shawl over her head.
Her legal case comes amid Pakistani pressure to send home 2.5 million Afghan refugees, even though Afghanistan faces a bloody Taliban insurgency and would struggle to look after them.

Pakistan province seeks to halt NatGeo Girl's deportation
PESHAWAR: Authorities in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have temporarily halted the deportation of Sharbat Gula, National Geographic's iconic green-eyed 'Afghan Girl', for using fake ID cards to stay here and will request the federal government to grant her refugee status.
Gula, who was immortalised after her haunting picture taken at a refugee camp in Pakistan in 1985 was carried by the magazine on its cover and became a symbol of her country's wars, was arrested on October 26 from her home here.
A special anti-corruption and immigration court in Peshawar ordered Gula's deportation to Afghanistan on Friday after serving a 15-day jail sentence besides slapping a fine of 1,10,000 rupees (USD 1,100).
Gula will complete her sentence on Wednesday.
The spokesperson for the provincial government Mushtaq Ghani told The Express Tribune that directives not to deport Gula for the time being had been forwarded to the Home and Tribal Affairs Department, adding that the case needed to be taken up at the federal level.
"We will request the federal government to grant her refugee status," he said, adding that the move would create a better image of the province.
"This is not against the verdict," said a source.
"This just temporarily halts the process on humanitarian grounds."
Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had indicated that Gula may be released on humanitarian grounds.
However, officials of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) said that the court orders would have to be carried out in letter and spirit.
Another official said that the special court's decision could only be challenged in the Supreme Court. However, he said, because Gula admitted to the crime, any appeal would only lengthen her stay in jail.
Gula, who was dubbed as 'Mona Lisa of Afghan war', was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for alleged forgery of a Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC).
She gained worldwide recognition when her image was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old.
According to interim charge sheet submitted on November 1, the prosecutor said that she accepted the main charge of faking her identity to get the CNIC.
Gula said that her late husband, Rehmat Gul, had earlier made a manual national identity card in 1988, which was used to get the CNIC with the help of an agent who was bribed.
Pakistan has been tackling the Afghan refugee crisis for over three decades. It is estimated that some three million Afghan refugees are living in Pakistan, half of whom are unregistered.
