Iraq is in the west and Afghanistan is in the east, what about Pakistan, if someone wants to flee?

QUETTA, Pakistan - When Abdulrahim Raeesi, an Iranian political science professor, wrote in an underground newspaper that Iran needs more democracy, men from the Ministry of Intelligence and Security soon found him. They arrested and tortured him, so badly, he said, that he had to be hospitalized. Last year, Raeesi escaped from the hospital and fled with his wife and son across the desert into Pakistan to seek political asylum. A few months later, he said, the secret police reached him again. Men with Iranian accents began calling his telephone, warning him to return to Iran and surrender.
"'Do you think you're safe?' they asked me" in an e-mail message, Raeesi said. "'We have a group for you. Don't make us send this group to get you.'"
Raeesi sent his family to shelter with friends, but he stayed in the city of Quetta to pursue his plea for asylum with the United Nations refugee agency here.
On Feb. 7, men with guns kicked in the flimsy door of the grubby rented room that Raeesi shared with two other Iranian asylum-seekers he had met here. One of his roommates, Ahmed Mashoof, was killed in a volley of bullets. Raeesi and the other roommate escaped, scampering from a courtyard to the rooftop.
