'''Pakistan''' is a country in [[Southern Asia]].
[[Police]] have a terrible reputation in Pakistan. In nicer states like Punjab they try to force you onto a bus but when you strongly say no, they stop a truck for you. It If it seems that police in Balochistan are very much against hitchhiking and will force you onto busesbusses, this is because foreigners regularly get abducted there. In 2011 a Suisse tourist couple was abducted, and in 2013 [http://tribune.com.pk/story/569090/czech-women-kidnapped-in-balochistan-appear-in-facebook-video/ two Czech travellers]. In the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) the police are on high alert and a foreigner hitchhiking is to be treated with extreme caution! In 2009 [[User:Xnothingxheldxbackx|User:Taylor]] was illegally detained, beaten, harassed and accused of being CIA spy or being Afghan and having a fake passport. Not good.
As of 2015, not only do Baluchistan and NWFP continue to be areas of high risk, most of the Sindh province is also not stable, and neither is southern Punjab. Taliban have taken over some villages there, so be careful with hitchhiking cross-country.
