PESHAWAR: Security forces on Wednesday arrested a Dutch national in Khyber Agency near the Pak-Afghan border.
Sources said the Afghan-origin Dutch national Ahmed Karemi son of Harimohamad Karemi was arrested by security forces when he was leaving for Afghanistan.
According to sources, Karemi had no legal documents and was handed over to the special branch police for further investigation.
In the wake of the Peshawar school carnage, border authorities have been strictly checking travel documents of commuters at the border. However, locals say routine travel has gone down after the tragic attack on Peshawar's Army Public School in December last year which left more than a hundred students and faculty dead.

I really don't think an Afghan need any kinda paper to come back to his motherland no matter what.
If i land in Afghan airport - they will allow me to enter Afghanistan because an Afghan knows an Afghan and requires no verification here.
Many of my friends with different passports living in different countries landing in Afghanistan with no Afghan visa and they are welcomed back Home.
But it's valid for Pakistani forces to detain him because he had no proper documents to be on Pakistani soil. so i am not blaming Pakistani security forces. If he is innocent - should be freed ASAP.

He must be an ordinary citizen either original from Afghanistan or pakistan, may be visit friends and family on both side of the border...nothing serious in my opinion, there are hundred of immigrant who are not allowed to return to their country of origin based on their asylum cases, but then they first travel to the neighboring country and then go to the country of origin via local transportation...
