In a statement on Saturday, the Consulate General of Jeddah said that the "consulate of Pakistan strongly condemns the ongoing campaign in some parts of Jeddah social media, saying that Saudi officials from the Makkah Governorate area of Mecca. Pakistanis are being imprisoned and deported. "
"The consulate has been advised to contact the concerned Saudi authorities that Saudi authorities arrest and deport illegal immigrants of all nationalities," the statement said. This exercise continues at different times throughout the year. '
However, the Consulate has made it clear that 'the recent campaign has been launched against people who are working in other fields (and thus are breaking the law') in the profession of writing on the subject. About 400 Pakistanis have been brought to the Solar Depression Center in the last three days.
According to the statement, the practice of rounding is part of a routine operation in which intensity and sometimes relaxation are performed.
It is to be noted that for the past several days, news has been circulating on social media that Pakistanis in Makkah region are being arrested and sent to Solar Jail.
According to the Jeddah Consulate, these 'rumor-free, Saudi relations' are being tried in WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media sources.
The Consulate has said that the recent campaign of arrests is not against the citizens of a particular country, nor is its target a Pakistani citizen. "To say that this campaign is exclusive to Pakistanis is absolutely wrong."
The consulate statement said: "The dissemination of such news through social media has created unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty in the Pakistani community. Parts of social media are portraying it as a misleading political angle. '
"It is in the interest of Pak-Saudi brotherly relations that such baseless and irresponsible statements should be avoided at all costs."
The consulate has also instructed Pakistanis based in Mecca to say: 'We request the Pakistani community in Saudi Arabia to remain calm and not pay attention to this fabricated social media campaign.
The Pakistan Consulate is in constant contact with the Saudi authorities in this matter and every possible step is being taken under local rules and regulations to protect the interests of the Pakistani community. "
Remember that the Saudi Public Prosecutor had previously reported that spreading baseless news and rumors is involved in cybercrime.
Sharing such news can result in a fine of 3 million rials and up to 5 years imprisonment.
