💨 Abstract

The Peshawar High Court has halted the forcible deportation of over 100 Afghan musicians seeking political asylum in Pakistan. The court instructed the federal government to decide their asylum applications within two months and directed security agencies to not take any action against them during this period. The musicians, who had migrated due to threats from the Taliban, argued that under international laws, the Pakistani government cannot forcibly deport them.
