Sharbat Gula was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Oct 26 from her house in Peshawar’s Nauthia area for alleged forgery of a Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC). A day after her arrest, the United Nations High Commissioner distanced itself from Sharbat Gula, claiming that she was not a registered refugee.
She had pleaded guilty to all charges against her and was sentenced to 15 days in jail and a fine of Rs110,000 by a special anti-corruption and immigration court. Following the sentence, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government offered to stop her deportation from the country but she refused to stay in Pakistan.
The Afghan president last week personally welcomed her upon her arrival in Afghanistan, offering her a furnished apartment after she was deported to Pakistan.

I am astonished and really shocked. No matter how much you love your country but almost in every corner of life there are plenty of American agents sitting and controlling what you write and they never allow to print it without their master permission.
