The Balochistan High Court has issued a new ruling allowing sixteen Afghan medical students in Quetta to continue their studies until the 3rd of Qaus of the current year. This temporary order remains valid until the final verdict on the case is delivered, with the next hearing scheduled for the 4th of Qaus.<\/p>\n
Said Nazir Ahmad Agha, the lawyer representing these students in Quetta, emphasized their efforts to ensure that the rights of Afghan students are guaranteed under Pakistani law and that their voices are heard. He also expressed solidarity with all Afghans on this path.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, several Afghan medical students in Pakistan have called for an extension of their study visas and permission to complete their academic programs. Ali Hemmat, one of these students, stated that no Afghan doctor is currently allowed to return to their duties, and although a case has been presented to the court, it has yet to be addressed.<\/p>\n
Sadiq Shariati, head of the Afghan Students’ Union in Pakistan, urged both countries to find a permanent solution to the issues faced by Afghan students so they can continue their education in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The process of deporting Afghan medical students from Pakistan began on 31 July 2026, following a decision by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. However, high courts in the provinces of Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have issued temporary orders allowing some students to continue their studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
