Police in North Macedonia on October 28 said they found 77 migrants in the country’s south and arrested seven Pakistanis suspected of human trafficking. Police said the arrests took place late on October 26 near the southern town of Negorci when they responded to reports of a large group of people on the move. The 77 consisted of 52 Syrians, 13 Pakistanis, five Iraqis, five Turks, and two Indians. Seven of the Pakistanis, believed to be the organizers of the group’s illegal entry into North Macedonia from neighboring Greece, were arrested and criminal charges were filed against them.
