'Thousands of Pakistanis trying to enter Iran illegally are caught every year'

[farhan_9909]

Interesting theory about them mainly being Afghans, so i did a search on the topic and it seems that most of the illegals trying to get to Greece and the EU from South Asian countries are not Afghans but are natives that mostly come from the Punjab region of Pakistan and India according to these Pakistani and Indian reports.

Another 32 Pakistanis deported from Greece

LAHORE - Another plane transported 32 Pakistanis from Athens to Lahore who had crossed into Greece illegally on fake travel documents in the past, said FIA sources on Thursday.

They said that the deportees were arrested by the immigration authorities of Greece when former made their entrance illegally there. A special plane carrying more than 30 Pakistani deportees from Greece landed at Allama Iqbal International Airport (AIIAP) Lahore on November 14.

A 60-member squad of Greek intelligence officers handed over the deportees to FIA Immigration Additional Director Basharat Shehzad and other officers at the Lahore airport.

Then 44 deportees were transported by a scheduled flight on November 20.

In the latest consignment of deportees, Assistant Director Immigration Ali Imam Zaidi said all the deportees were released from the airport against personal sureties and not a single deportee was sent to Anti-Human Trafficking Cell for action. He said travel documents of only two deportees were found genuine.

All the deportees were interviewed at the AIIAP and released, adding 95 percent of them belonged to upper Punjab. Human trafficking was on rise in the country, especially in upper Punjab districts of Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, Mandi Bahauddin, Lala Musa, Kharian and Jhelum. Sources said human trafficking was being patronised by influential as well as by parliamentarians due to which action against them could never be taken properly. Only cosmetic measures were being taken to curb human smuggling due to which the real accused were still at large, they added.

The economy of Greece is already in a shambles due to which Pakistanis visiting Greece for better future got arrested after they failed to get better jobs on account of their illegal status.

FIA officer said that all deportees were sent back to Pakistan under International Organization for Migrants (IOM). He said that IOM management not only provide air tickets to these deportees but also extends financial help of 200 to 300 Euros per head. This help was to rehabilitate them in their respective country.

He said all of them arrived in Greece by using illegal means of travel like ‘Dunkey Style’a term generally used in FIA for such travelers.

FIA officer quoted a deportee as saying, “There are good numbers of Pakistanis detained in Greece jails but Pakistan foreign office there pays no heed toward this crucial issue.”

The majority of the deportees coming from Athens were of 22 to 30. They had paid a huge sum of money to human traffickers, besides putting their lives at risk to enter Greece. As per reports, every deportee pays around Rs 0.5 million to Rs 0.7 million to human smugglers for his illegal entry in Greece.

An FIA officer said human traffickers used illegal route of Iran via Balochistan, and then from Iran to Turkey and from Turkey to Greece. Sometimes these deportees are kidnapped by their own Pakistani people after reaching Greece.

Punjabi girls entering Greece illegally

JALANDHAR: It's not just the UK government that is worried sick about human trafficking from Punjab. A disturbing trend of human trafficking of young girls from Punjab to Greece via Georgia and Turkey has now come to light with managing committees of 10 gurdwaras in Greece having written to Lok Bhalai Party about it. The letter mentioned that several young girls were landing in undignified situations in Greece, sullying the name of Punjab.

In a letter to LBP chief Balwant Singh Ramoowalia on November 4, they have written that while earlier only young men were trying to sneak into Greece from Turkey, now girls were also coming illegally.

They have asked Ramoowalia to approach the state government to check this trend of human trafficking of girls to Greece and appealed to the people that if daughters of some families were in Georgia, they should call them back to save them from trouble. The letter has also explained that there were no employment avenues for newcomers and gurdwaras there could not give them shelter as per law in Greece.

The letter has alleged that Gurnam Singh alias Baba was sending the girls through this route.

Ramoowalia, while providing copies of the letter, said principal political parties were ignoring issues which concerned the life, death and dignity of people, especially the daughters of Punjab.

Meanwhile, Daljit Kaur, a resident of Binjo village in Hoshiarpur district, in the presence of LBP leaders, alleged that her 36-year-old brother Harjinder Singh, who was to be taken to Delhi by a travel agent for his trip to Greece, was killed somewhere in Malerkotla. She alleged conspiracy by a travel agent of her village who had taken her brother's two kanal land by registering it in his name.

Don't know why are you comparing Iran with Greece.

Anyway the Per capita difference b/w pak-iran from 7times in 1998 is now decreased to only 3times.Not much of opportunities in iran for Poor Pakistanis,On the other hand Greece or even the Gulf state has alot to offer

There were enough welfare recipients back home in cali who were Indian. And they drove lexus and bimmers. There are more of your people there, so more of them into 2 numbers.

Get off you high horse.

 

[Jaanbaz]

And Pakistanis are too busy bringing Sharia into Turkey and UK, wiping out Israel, bringing down Assad etc etc... No offence but Pakistanis should concentrate more on their own problems rather than destroying what they already have and trying to destroy others also. Just a few months ago another lunatic got caught trying to convert government schools into Islamic learning centres in Birmingham. Don't they see there's a problem in this behaviour?

Spot on. Brace yourself for the shit Strom coming.

So very sad news. My condolences to their families and Pakistani and Afghani nations. And my condolences to compassionate Iran, because due to sanctions and all else, they can't help and host all with no discrimination with their own nation.

It is too sad both the the US invasions and Taliban groups make life hard in Afghanistan and Pakistan for some. And with hopes of better life, which is also a dream for most in westen countries, the false promises, they literally are forced to desert their own lands. It is so sad. And they lose their lives while trying to do so. I am so sorry to hear these news. And I hope, the conditions become better in these countries. And what we hope becomes more fact, so people don't have to leave their beloved lands. Rather they host other nations inshaAllah.

You're conflating two separate issues, ie, the migration (mostly illegal) of people from Afghanistan and Pakistan out of their countries.

The Taliban has nothing to do with the illegal migration of Pakistanis, unlike the situation for Afghans. The overwhelming majority of Pakistanis leaving their country are illegal economic migrants that come from eastern Pakistan where there is no Taliban or any war going on.

"Generally speaking, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis present a remarkable monoreligious Muslim identity, while Indians “transplant” in Greece the ethno-religious heterogeneity of their country. More specifically, most of Pakistanis in Greece (almost 80%) come from North Punjab (Lazarescu and Broersma 2010: 393). They speak Punjabi as their mother tongue while they are also familiar with Urdu, the official language of their country."

OTHO, Afghans are generally fleeing war and/or persecution and so, have a case to be considered legitimate refugees unlike Pakistanis who are fleeing from a non-conflict zone out of poverty not because of violence. As such, these type of migrants have no valid case to leave Pakistan and try to live in other countries like Greece.

This difference in cause and nature between Afghan and Pakistani migration is probably the main reason why even Iran's regime tolerates temporary Afghan migration but doesnt allow Pakistanis to stay there. Instead, Iran always rounds up Pakistanis and deports them whenever they are caught at the border or moving through the country. Greece usually does the same as Iran in treating these peoples differently.
