Pakistani Court Suspends Order to Expel Afghan Medical Students Amid Tensions
Pakistan's Medical and Dental Council ordered medical colleges to expel Afghan students and halt new admissions amid worsening Pakistan-Afghanistan relations. This directive affected hundreds of Afghan medical and dental students, including those nearing graduation. However, the Lahore High Court suspended the expulsion order following petitions by 13 Afghan students, allowing them to continue their education, attend exams, and stay in hostels. The court has scheduled further hearings for September 18, seeking responses from relevant authorities. The situation reflects broader tensions and migration issues between the two countries.
