Travel ban on Pakistanis has crossed a shocking number of more than 100,000 individuals. According to the Ministry of Interior sources, many Pakistanis have been barred from leaving the country due to crimes, political issues, and links with militant groups.
Reports reveal that over 70,000 Pakistanis have been blacklisted abroad because of criminal charges. In addition, more than 10,000 people were stopped for using fake documents. Around 2,000 individuals were placed on the stop list on political grounds.
The data also highlights that more than 20,000 people linked with armed and sectarian groups are included in the list. Interestingly, even over 1,000 foreign nationals are facing restrictions on leaving Pakistan.
Apart from this, more than 10,000 individuals were blacklisted due to serious criminal cases such as murder and fraud. The restrictions are not limited to criminals. More than 100 journalists, YouTubers, and social media activists are also facing a travel ban. This has sparked debate over human rights and freedom of expression in the country.
The travel ban on Pakistanis has raised concerns among citizens, rights groups, and political observers. Many believe the government needs to maintain transparency in such decisions. Critics argue that innocent people should not be placed on these lists without clear evidence.
Experts also suggest that stricter verification processes are required to ensure fairness. The growing number of restricted individuals shows how serious the issue has become. Unless addressed properly, the travel ban on Pakistanis may continue to affect the image of the country globally.
