Pakistan: Afghans refugees not in favour of male photographers

The Daily Times have stated that Afghans who are residing in 18 camps in the north western Kohat and Hangu districts of Pakistan have declined to register themselves as refugees because they are not in favour of male photographers clicking their female relatives snaps. On the other hand, some are demanding for a lady photographer while others are of the view of performing the exercise at ‘an appropriate place’. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is going ahead with the task of registering the Afghan refugees so that they could stay in Pakistan for three years. Vivian Tan, spokesperson of UNHCR said that though is moving at a slow pace but will start its speed after the fasting month of Ramadan.
