ISLAMABAD, May 28: Authorities in Uganda have released 16 Pakistanis apprehended by the law enforcement agencies on May 19 on suspicion of links with terrorism as the charges could not be established.

According to a report from Uganda, Pakistan’s High Commissioner Hameed A. Kidwai, on receipt of information about detention of the Pakistanis, contacted the authorities there and followed up the case.

The concerned authorities have given their assurance that there will be no discrimination against Pakistanis and in future the high commission will be kept fully informed if any Pakistani is apprehended.—APP
