ISLAMABAD (APP):More than 2,400 Pakistani prisoners, languishing in jails of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have been released during the last one year due to efforts of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.

“Pakistan achieves release of 1,245 prisoners from Saudi Arabia and 1,200 from the Emirates during the first year of the PTI government which is unprecedented,” an official source in the ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (OPHED) told APP.

When the PTI government came to power, he said there were some 3,300 Pakistanis imprisoned in Saudi jails while 2,521 were facing jail terms in UAE.

However, the government had made sure release of some 38 per cent and 48

per cent of total Pakistani prisoners languishing in Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s jails, respectively, he added.

He said the government had extended financial and legal assistance to 2,559 Pakistani prisoners, languishing in the Middle East countries’ prisons on minor crimes, to ensure their early release.

Apart from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the official stated that some 55 Pakistani prisoners released from Oman, 18 from Kuwait, 17 from Bahrain, 14 from Qatar and 10 from Iraq.

The ministry had also arranged the repatriation of 320 passengers from Malaysia stranded in camps, 1,600 passengers from Thailand who were stuck there due to airspace closure in recent past, 28 drivers from Iraq and more than five trafficked children to Middle East for immoral purposes, he maintained.

These are faceless prisoners!

These guys don't matter, who cares! Dynastic Ghulams sympathise with people that stole trillions.

Saudi Arabian authorities have carried out the execution of five Pakistani expatriates who were convicted of raiding a private company and causing the death of a security guard, as reported by Gulf News.

According to the Saudi Interior Ministry, the convicted individuals attacked a private sector firm, where they tied up two guards and assaulted and killed a Bangladeshi security personnel.

Following thorough investigations, the five perpetrators were brought before a competent court, found guilty, and subsequently sentenced to death.

The verdict, upheld through the appeals and supreme courts, received final approval through a royal order, leading to the execution of the individuals on Tuesday in Makkah.

Saudi Arabia, known for its strict legal system, applies the death penalty for crimes such as murder, terror attacks, and drug smuggling.

This incident follows a recent execution in January, where four Ethiopian expatriates were executed for the murder of a Sudanese national, with the motive remaining undisclosed. In a separate case in December, two Bangladeshi expatriates faced execution for murdering an Indian man over a financial dispute, employing insecticide as their weapon.

The application of the death penalty in Saudi Arabia has drawn international attention and criticism, with human rights organisations frequently raising concerns about the transparency and fairness of the legal proceedings leading to such severe sentences.

This is the reason Pakistanis are infamous worldwide. I don't know when we will brighten the name of our country.

It's strange Pakistan didn't even try to get them released.
