Imran Riaz not allowed to go abroad despite court orders
YouTuber Imran Riaz was allegedly stopped by immigration authorities at Islamabad International Airport and not allowed to perform Hajj because his name was on Exit Control List (ECL).
In a video shared on social media, Riaz could be seen talking with an immigration official grabbing a paper and saying, “According to this, my name should be removed from Exit Control List (ECL) and Passport Control List (PCL) and if the Judge has ordered this then this list should have been updated.”
The officer agreed with him and said, “Either the list should be updated or you require a one-time special permission to fly abroad.”
On May 29, the YouTuber shared on social media that his name was removed from the no-fly list on the orders of the Islamabad High Court and he would go to perform Hajj.
On June 3, Riaz wrote on X that despite the court orders his name wasn’t removed from ECL and PCL.
