for foreigners without visas, or expired visas, to leave, or face forced deportation or prison. Sharkie said without urgent intervention, the future for the women and their families was bleak.
“I have been working with a network of female journalists in Europe who are deeply concerned for their fellow journalists. I understand our High Commission in Pakistan has been in contact with these women for some time, but time is running out and I beseech the Australian Government to get them to Australia, to safety, immediately.”
“This state of uncertainty leaves Afghan nationals residing in Pakistan in an increasingly dangerous and dire situation,” Sharkie wrote.
