UPDATE:
It's now confirmed that the 17 year old son of this Pakistani father HAS BEEN DEPORTED TO AFGHANISTAN.
This is an absolute mockery of an entire ethnicity, an entire people, who ARE PAKISTANIS.
A 17 year old son has been sent away WHILE HIS FATHER waited outside.
He's a Pakistani. His father is Pakistani. He has his documents. But because his 17 year old son still doesn't have his CNIC as we all get it at 18, he's been detained and now the father is being told that "we've sent him away". Where? His father is outside the detention center.
