'Over half of 9,000 Pakistanis imprisoned abroad face drug smuggling charges'
[DAWN] Over half of 9,000 Paks imprisoned across the globe were tossed in the slammer... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... on charges of drug smuggling, officials of the Ministry of Overseas Paks informed the Senate Committee on Overseas Paks on Tuesday. A Pak citizen, Zulfiqar, who is facing execution in Indonesia on charges of drug smuggling, is not well and is receiving treatment, the foreign ministry said, adding that his execution had been halted last week because of the ministry's efforts. "A new date for the execution has not yet been announced," foreign ministry official said. Appalled at the finding, the members of the committee asked why the ministry was not making sure that travellers were aware of the menace and why it was so easy to take smuggle drugs from Pakistain.
