Deporting Afghans from Pakistan is referred to by Angelina Jolie as “backsliding in human rights”
Angelina Jolie, a well-known actress and philanthropist, expressed her profound regret and concern on Instagram about the widespread expulsion of Afghan refugees from Pakistan. Jolie, a longtime supporter of refugees and human rights, expressed her emotional disapproval of the hasty decision to send back vulnerable Afghan families who must now face the difficult reality of survival in modern-day Afghanistan.
Jolie emphasized Pakistan’s historical role as a long-standing supporter of Afghan refugee families in an Instagram post. She bemoaned the abrupt deportation, particularly in light of the terrible circumstances that exist right now in Afghanistan, where women are denied their basic rights, education is getting harder to get, many are facing jail, and a serious humanitarian catastrophe is developing.
“Pakistan has been a supporter for many Afghan refugee families for decades,” the actor stated. “I am saddened they would so abruptly push back refugees who face the impossible realities of trying to survive in today’s Afghanistan, where women have again been deprived of all rights and the possibility of education, many are being imprisoned, and there is a deep humanitarian crisis.”
“It is yet another example of the global backsliding in human rights, and is a new tragedy in the long history of the suffering of the Afghan people – who have not had anything but war, conflict, and displacement for over forty years, and are being abandoned by the world after all the promises that were made of a better future for the people,” she continued.

The actress included a link to Afghan reporting in her Instagram bio and advised her fans to keep educated and mindful of the developing situation. Jolie is among the few well-known figures in Hollywood who have voiced their concerns on the killing and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Jolie’s moving Instagram post is a potent call to action as the world community struggles with the effects of the crisis in Afghanistan.
