[UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett @SR_Afghanistan]

Concerning reports from Pakistan about arrests & deportation of Afghans. I reiterate my call for protection & non-refoulement, esp. of vulnerable categories. Afghans hosted in region need better treatment. I urge all States to step up host country funding and relocation pathways.
