University admissions to foreign students are permissible only on valid Student Visas. Illegal immigrants cannot claim this privilege. Those who have obtained admissions in medical colleges on forged identity documents are liable to punitive legal action, not coveted medical education.

Pakistan’s actions are grounded in the Foreigners Act, 1946, which gives the country every right to regulate foreign presence.

Regional Director of Amnesty International South Asia is Smriti Singh. She has turned the Regional Office into an anti-Pakistan propaganda platform like EU Disinfo Labs.

Amnesty International’s Regional Director previously worked for Times of India, a publication with documented ties to India’s intelligence agency, RAW. Her leadership has prompted scrutiny over potential biases and allegations that she engages with India-based networks linked to the Indian Ministry of Defence.

Invoking international human rights law does not establish that Pakistan is prohibited from regulating foreign nationals. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Article 13 expressly recognises the state’s authority to expel aliens when expulsion is carried out in accordance with law.
