KABUL, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Around 300 Afghan nationals have been released from prisons in neighboring Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan during the past week, according to local media Tolo news on Wednesday.

According to the report, the individuals re-entered the country via the Spin Boldak border crossing in Kandahar province. The detainees had reportedly been held for varying durations, ranging from a single day to nearly two months.

After crossing back into Afghanistan, the returnees were registered and provided with initial humanitarian support at a transit center in Spin Boldak. They were later assisted in returning to their home provinces, the report said.
