Sharmila Faruqui Instagram – Human smuggling in Pakistan is a heartbreaking reality, made worse by the involvement of the very institution meant to stop it — the FIA. In January 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a special task force to combat trafficking, but how can the government succeed when its own officials are complicit? The Greece boat tragedy exposed this grim reality, with FIA officers found facilitating illegal migration. In response, the government dismissed 35 officials and barred 65 from immigration duties. But is this enough? These are more than just numbers — they represent lives lost due to systemic corruption. The government must go beyond dismissals and take meaningful, lasting action. Without it, human smugglers will continue to thrive, and more innocent lives will be lost. #mationalassemblyofPakistan #sharmilafaruqi | Posted on 18/Feb/2025 00:08:22
