Former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, who was unlawfully detained by Israeli occupying forces along with other humanitarian workers aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, has been released, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Friday. The release comes after a concerted effort involving multiple parties. In a post on X, Dar said the Hellenic authorities facilitated his release at Crete, Greece, allowing for his safe return. The Government of Turkiye also played a pivotal role in arranging his transfer to Istanbul, from where he will travel to Pakistan. Dar acknowledged their swift and effective response, along with the support from the Pakistani Embassy in Athens. “I reiterate my strongest possible condemnation of the illegal detention of humanitarian workers abroad the flotilla as well as obstruction of humanitarian aid destined for the besieged people of Gaza,” Dar said. Pakistan has been and will continue to extend unequivocal support for our Palestinian brothers and sisters, he added.
