Thousands of Afghans granted sanctuary in Britain remain trapped in Pakistan as the country begins a crackdown on undocumented refugees, despite the UK government having promised to bring them to safety.
Around 3,000 Afghans who have been approved for refuge in Britain are stranded in UK-funded hotels in Islamabad. Many of the families, who are eligible for resettlement because of their work with the British government in Afghanistan, have been waiting for months, and their visas have run out.
