Aziz’s family was sitting down for an evening meal in their cramped Islamabad hotel room when there was a knock at the door. When his nine-year-old daughter opened it, she was faced with a group of uniformed Pakistani police officers, clad in helmets and carrying rifles.
Outside the hotel window, police vehicles lined the street. Around 50 officers were going door to door in the hotel, searching for people whose visas had expired or who were unable to prove they were due to leave the country soon.
