Pakistan condemns use of brazen force by Israel against Humanitarian Mission

 

The Government of Pakistan has strongly condemned the use of brazen force by Israel against a humanitarian Mission by Sea that was embarked on delivering aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza. The people and Government of Pakistan are particularly concerned about the safety of senior journalists Syed Talat Hussain, Mr. Raza Mahmood Agha and President Khubaib Foundation, Islamabad Mr. Nadeem Ahmad Khan.

 

The Government of Pakistan believes that killing of the members of humanitarian mission, which also included women, is brutal, inhuman and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and norms.  

 

Upon the instruction of the Government of Pakistan, the High Commission has approached the British Government to use its good offices for ascertaining the well being of three Pakistani nationals and for their early release by the Israeli authorities.
