Pakistan rejects US report on human rights practices
This year's report is once again conspicuous by its lack of objectivity and politicization of the international human rights agenda, it added.
Sixteen foreigners were arrested in Pakistan’s Balochistan province for illegally trying to cross the country’s border into Iran, authorities said on Tuesday.
The foreigners — 15 Nigerians and one Yemeni national — were en route to Europe via Iran, but were arrested on Monday night on a tip-off, reports Xinhua news agency.
The security forces also detained two armed local men in the operation conducted in Turbat district.
