ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan
refused to allow about 30 migrants deported from Greece to get off a
plane at Islamabad on Thursday, a week after talks with the European

The charter plane later took off with the rejected
returnees still aboard, after 19 others whom Pakistan deemed legitimate
deportees were allowed to disembark, the Interior Ministry said.
A top EU official said last week that Pakistan would
stick to an agreement to take back citizens deported from mainland
Europe, days after Pakistani Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said
Islamabad was suspending a repatriation deal.
