Foreign Office responds to arrest of ex-PTI MNA in Saudi Arabia

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch has stated that citizens must follow the rules of the country they visit, following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ex-Member of National Assembly (MNA) Faheem Khan in Saudi Arabia.

When a journalist asked whether Saudi Arabia had released Khan, she responded, “You are a journalist; confirm his arrest or release.”

Earlier, PTI revealed that Saudi Arabia had arrested their former MNA. PTI Karachi alleged that the Pakistani incumbent government was involved in his arrest.

Some claims suggest that Khan was filming a video near the Holy Kaaba on May 9, which may have led to his arrest.

Sindh PTI President Haleem Adil Sheikh said the party is constantly in contact with Khan’s family in efforts to secure his release.
