KABUL, May 13 (Xinhua) — A total of 330 Afghan prisoners held in Pakistani jails have been released and repatriated to their home country, official figures from the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation showed on Tuesday.

The detainees returned to Afghanistan last week through the Spin Boldak border crossing in the southern Kandahar province, the department said.

Over the past year, Pakistan has released thousands of Afghans from prison and sent them back to Afghanistan.

Nearly 7 million Afghan refugees, most of them undocumented migrants, currently live abroad. Most of them live in Afghanistan’s neighbors Iran and Pakistan. –0–
