I guess Nawaz Sharif's wishes behind this sentence

 

[Saho]

A summary about him please?

 

[airmarshal]

Under which international law?

 

[Jaanbaz]

A summary about him please?

He's a conspiracy theorist, anti India too. He believes Mujahideen will invade India and fly the Islamic flag at red fort in Delhi . He was supposed to lead the invasion of India on horseback, well that will obviously be delayed now. He represent the mindset of people like @Zarvan . For the last few months he had become anti Saudi lol.

What an irony! Zaid Hamid has been advocating for Sharia law in Pakistan..... & he got a taste of it first hand!

 

[angelandsoul]

Diplomatic sources had said that Zaid Hamid was arrested last month for making an alleged provocative speech in Madina criticising the Saudi government.

Now he knows how Sharia Law feels like.. won't be advocating for the same once he is back in Pak after 8yres!

One thing is for sure.. Saudis dot give much importance to his right to consular access. Wonder if Pak authorities really pressed for this..?

Not sure about that...it is not the first time... this is applicable to many Pakistanis overseas... shows you how much backing you will have when you have a "green" passport in the world today...in contrast IF any US Citizen was caught into this predicament he would have met a totally opposite treatment...SAD BUT TRUE.

Well, if you have a US passport, that is not a bad thing!

This is not sharia law.. It's Saudi law

True.

Maybe there was some tacit support to Saudi from Pakistani authorities in this case. Zaid Hamid had the backing of some from the military establishment back in Pakistan... & authorities couldn't touch him. This is the best thing that would have happened... saap bhi mar jaye.. laati bhi na toote!

sad but true reality. I was in Dubai last month and they lost my passport. Trust me I felt like a king because they lost the blue one

Sharia law or Egyptian Saudi royal family's law
