The little goodwill that exists must be preserved. Positive decision by Peshawar High Court. Given the state of education and opportunities for Afghan #youth, esp girls, investing in education has never been more important. #Afghanstudents deserve dignity and humane treatment.
The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has temporarily halted the deportation of 14 #Afghan #medical & dental students enrolled at colleges across #KP. @ImtiazGul60 @ELSAIMDAD @jyk_256 @UNAMAnews afghanstudiescenter.org/pesh…
