ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its Embassy in Amman, is working tirelessly to secure the safe evacuation of former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan who was illegally detained by the Israeli occupying forces.

In response to media inquiries concerning Pakistani nationals aboard the Sumud flotilla, the Foreign Office Spokesperson, in a statement, said “With the invaluable assistance of the Jordanian government, we are hopeful that the process can be successfully concluded within the next couple of days”.

“We are deeply grateful to the brotherly government of Jordan for their exemplary cooperation and generous support,” the spokesperson said.

In an earlier statement, FO said that we have been further informed that, in accordance with local legal procedure, Senator Mushtaq will be presented before a court.

Upon the issuance of deportation orders, his repatriation will be facilitated on a fast-track basis.
