Iranian border officials on Sunday deported another 35 Pakistani emigrants who had illegally entered the neighbouring country.
Pakistan’s border authorities said that citizens deported from Iran have been handed over the detained persons to the Federal Investigation Agency’s anti-human trafficking cell.
“The deportees were intending to illegally immigrate to European countries via Iran,” Pakistan’s border officials said.
