Pakistani police in multiple raids detained at least 1,200 Afghan nationals, including women and children, who entered the southern port city of Karachi without valid travel documents, officials said. The arrests brought criticism from around Afghanistan after images of locked up Afghan children were circulated online. Police and local government officials said Wednesday the detainees will be deported to Afghanistan after serving jail sentences or when the paperwork for their release is completed by their attorneys.
