PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN—A court in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Friday ordered that the National Geographic’s famed green-eyed “Afghan Girl” be deported once her detention expires, a prosecutor said. She gained international fame in 1984 as an Afghan refugee girl, after war photographer Steve McCurry’s photograph of her, with piercing green eyes, was published on the cover of National Geographic. In 2014, she surfaced in Pakistan but went into hiding when authorities accused her of buying a fake Pakistani identity card. On Friday, prosecutor Mohsin Dawar said she faces deportation after five days, when her 15-day jail term is to expire. He said the court also fined Gulla a sum of 110,000 rupees, which is about $1,100 (U.S.).
