Passport Seizure and Passage Obstruction at the Pakistan Border

A passenger traveling at the Pakistan border suffered a great loss when he was stopped by a person claiming to be an official and his passport was confiscated. A citizen waiting to cross was stranded in the border area when the convoy assigned to him was not allowed to pass.

Stating that his passport was not returned after the incident, the victim stated that he was instructed to walk to the Iranian border. While uncertainty continues about the practices of the authorities in the region, this situation experienced by the passenger has brought the security and procedure discussions at border crossings back to the agenda.
