The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) published a comprehensive advise on Wednesday, 20 years after the last one, aimed at combating human trafficking and guaranteeing greater supervision of travelers going to and from Pakistan.
The decision comes in response to growing worries about the exploitation of vulnerable people for forced labor and trafficking.
The recommendation, based on a rigorous review of the Immigration and Border Management System (IBMS) database from July to December, emphasizes the growing necessity for greater surveillance of passengers from 15 countries.
The regulations are specifically targeted at passengers from nine Pakistani locations and specific international airlines, representing a significant step forward in the country’s attempts to combat the rising scourge of human trafficking.
Cities and airlines come under investigation.
The alert lists nine Pakistani cities: Mandi Bahauddin, Gujarat, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Jhelum, Toba Tek Singh, Hafizabad, Sheikhupura, and Bhimber. For the first time, the guidance has expressly instructed authorities to increase inspection of travelers aged 15 to 40 traveling overseas.
Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Senegal, Kenya, Russia, and Egypt are among the countries being monitored. The advice also requests a thorough assessment of travelers flying to Libya, Iran, Mauritania, Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan. These locations have been identified as having a higher level of human trafficking activities in recent years.
