Pakistan welcomes saudi decision to grant visit visas on arrival.

https://arab.news/zq3n7

• Religious Affairs Ministry spokesman says move exemplified strength of bilateral ties
• Pakistanis across the country hailed Saudi Arabia’s announcement of new facility which also allows performing Umrah on a visit visa

ISLAMABAD: The spokesperson for Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs said on Monday Saudi Arabia’s move to allow visit visas on arrival for Pakistanis exemplified the strength of bilateral ties between the two countries.

The new visa regime was launched in January this year and will allow one-year multiple entry visas for anyone traveling to the Kingdom with a valid visa from the United Kingdom, the United States or the European Union.

“We welcome this initiative by the Saudi government to grant visit visas on arrival to Pakistanis on which they can also perform Umrah,” Imran Siddiqui told Arab News.

Pakistanis across the country also responded positively on Monday to Saudi Arabia’s announcement.

“This is the best decision taken by the Saudi government, especially for frequent travelers, and will also increase pilgrimage to the Kingdom,” Ahmed Hanif, a resident of Lahore, told Arab News.

Hanif said he had already availed the visa on arrival facility and was able to go through immigration in fifteen minutes when he visited Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah in late January this year.

“When I landed at Madina airport, there were two special counters for people using this facility,” Hanif said. “You have to show a valid visa from either UK or the US or a Schengen permit on which you are required to have traveled once; after verifying this, they stamped the Saudi one-year multiple visa.”

Under the new initiative, visitors can perform Umrah but not Hajj, and can apply for visas on arrival at any international airport in the Kingdom.

The visa costs SR440 ($117) and needs to be paid through a credit card. Once processed, visitors are allowed to stay in the Kingdom for 90 days at a stretch and can re-enter multiple times, as long as the visa remains valid.

A circular issued by the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), and available with Arab News, said it is mandatory for first time visitors to fly Saudi-based airlines – Saudi Airlines, Flynas or Flyadeal — while repeat visitors with a valid Saudi visit visa can use any airline.

“I got a one-year multiple entry visa last week when I went to perform Umrah,” Abubakar Siddiqui, a businessman from Sialkot, told Arab News. “I am a frequent traveler to Europe so it is ideal for me to use a Saudi airline for a connecting flight and perform Umrah by staying for a day or two in Makkah.”

Siddiqui said the new visa facility meant less travel time, reduced travel arrangements and was also cost-effective since he no longer had to use travel agents who overcharged for urgent visas.

Gunmen kill a police officer assigned to protect polio workers in northwest pakistan.

• At least 10 police have died this year while on security duty for vaccination campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
• Anti-polio campaigns in Pakistan are regularly marred by violence, with militants claiming campaigns sterilize children

PESHAWAR: Gunmen fatally shot a police officer assigned to protect polio workers in Pakistan’s northwest, an official said Tuesday. At least 10 police have died this year while on security duty for vaccination campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The gunmen fired at a team working in Bajaur district, killing the officer on the spot, police officer Dilawar Khan said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the assault. Anti-polio campaigns in Pakistan are regularly marred by violence. Militants target vaccination teams and police assigned to protect them, falsely claiming that the campaigns are a Western conspiracy to sterilize children. A five-day anti-polio campaign started Monday in 13 high-risk districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. More than 21,000 teams are tasked with administering vaccines to 4,423,000 children under age 5. More than 32,000 police are protecting the teams. Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan are the only countries where the spread of polio has never been stopped. The potentially fatal, paralyzing disease mostly strikes children under age 5 and typically spreads through contaminated water.

Occupiers using ‘fake news’ against freedom struggles in kashmir, palestine — pakistan’s un envoy .

• Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine have become key battlegrounds in an information war
• Online propaganda fighting to make people around the world take sides, harden positions

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Munir Akram, has said occupying powers were increasingly using fake news and disinformation campaigns to subdue freedom struggles in Kashmir and Palestine, state-run APP said on Tuesday. 

The conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine have become key battlegrounds in an information war that goes far wider than their tightly drawn physical borders. Carefully crafted social media posts and other online propaganda are fighting to make people around the world take sides, harden their positions and even move broader public opinion.

While plenty of real imagery and accounts of the ensuing carnage have emerged, they have been intermingled with users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events.

“We are witnessing this today in the Gaza war and have witnessed this consistently in the case of occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” Akram told the UN Committee on Information on Monday, referring to online disinformation campaigns.

Akram voiced regret that the use of digital media was “turbocharging” the spread of disinformation “to promote Islamophobia to justify foreign occupation and aggression to turn victims of aggression into the culprits.”

This had led Pakistan to initiate a resolution on disinformation which was unanimously adopted last year, the Pakistani envoy said, adding that consultations would soon take place to advance its objectives. 

“Pakistan would welcome the development of an inter-governmentally formulated code of conduct for information integrity on digital platforms,” Akram said, adding that the increasing use of AI tools to spread false information and conduct digital surveillance needed to be addressed. 

“At the core of information manipulation, Internet blackouts, censorship and the use of special media laws by the occupation authorities is a sinister design to de-legitimize freedom struggles and perpetuate a climate of fear, intimidation and violence,” Akram added.

In some instances with regards to the Gaza war, online propaganda simply involves the framing of real events, violent images and videos, and hate speech to emphasize the guilt of one side and vindicate the other.

But much of the material relies on the creation of what’s commonly referred to as fake news, in the form of fabricated stories published on social media that repurpose or mislabel real photos or videos.

For example, one post on X (formerly Twitter) that was viewed 300,000 times used a photo of an accidental fire at a McDonald’s restaurant in New Zealand to falsely claim the company had been attacked by pro-Palestinian protesters for its perceived support of Israel. Despite being debunked, the story was still the focus of heated discussions on social media channels.

There are also reports of excerpts from video games and old TikToks being shared with claims they are from real current events in Gaza, and fake government agency social media accounts posting disinformation.

Pakistan unveils advanced anti-rape cell in Karachi to boost conviction rate in sexual violence cases

• The model cell is an improved version of a pilot project launched in the southern Pakistani city last year
• A medical legal department at the center of the new cell will work with the police, empower prosecution

KARACHI: Less than eight months after the inauguration of the pioneering Anti-Rape Crisis Cell in Pakistan’s southern Sindh province, authorities on Tuesday unveiled a model cell to address legal cases involving sexual- and gender-based violence. According to War Against Rape, a non-profit organization, Pakistan witnessed 5,279 reported rape cases in 2021, with less than three percent resulting in convictions, highlighting the urgent need for such initiatives. Dr. Summaiya Syed, Police Surgeon Karachi, said recent measures in the province, including the Sindh Sexual Violence Response Framework of 2021 and the launch of the pilot Anti-Rape Crisis Cell last year, had shown promising progress, taking the conviction rate in cases of sexual violence from five to 15 percent. “It offers separate spaces which weren’t really available in the pilot project,” she said after the launch of the model cell at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Hospital in a ceremony attended by the provincial health minister, Dr. Azra Pehechu, as the chief guest. “Now we have better a space, better organization, better referral pathways, better connections between those referral pathways and better availability of resources,” she added. Dr. Syed said they had learned several things from the pilot project which were utilized while setting up the new establishment. “We hope that here since now we have dedicated referral pathways, dedicated SOPs [standard operating procedures] will be followed,” she added. “I have better staff provisions over here. We hope to take that [conviction ratio] higher.” Maliha Zia, Associate Director Legal Aid Society, said facilities like anti-rape cells generate proper and effective evidence in cases of rape which can be used during the prosecution stage. She said the government of Sindh, along with the police and the judiciary, had been working extensively for the last three years on improving the state’s response to rape cases. The initiatives taken by the provincial authorities, she added, included training of medical staff to understand the role that they need to play during the trial and the necessary changes they need to make while reporting these cases. “All this work has culminated in the establishment of an anti-rape crisis cell which not only puts together the medical legal department at the center, a capacitated medical legal department, but connects it directly with the police and prosecution to make an effective case,” Zia continued, adding strong medical evidence and solitary statement of the survivor would result in conviction rates.

Pakistan’s top court resumes hearing on alleged intelligence interference in judiciary

• The Supreme Court took up the case after six high court judges accused powerful spy agencies of intimidating them
• Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa says that judgments and court orders ‘shout’ on their own if there has been any meddling

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s top court on Tuesday resumed the hearing of a case involving accusations by six high court judges of interference and intimidation by the country’s powerful intelligence agencies in judicial matters.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan took up the case after six out of the eight Islamabad High Court judges accused the military’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency of intimidating and coercing them over legal cases, particularly those with significant political consequences.

The judges provided various examples of alleged interference, including a case concerning Pakistan’s imprisoned former prime minister, Imran Khan. They also mentioned incidents where they said their relatives were abducted and tortured, and their homes were secretly surveilled, aiming to coerce them into delivering favorable judgments in specific cases.

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa, who has repeatedly noted that judicial meddling would not be tolerated, mentioned that such interference could occur in multiple ways.

“Interference can be from within and without, from intelligence agencies, from one’s colleagues and family members or from social media,” he said.

He maintained that judgments and court orders “shout” on their own if there has been interference.

The CJP initially constituted a seven-member bench that last heard the matter on April 3. However, the bench had to be reconstituted after Justice Yahya Afridi recused himself.

Prior to that, the top Supreme Court judge also discussed the matter with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during which it was decided to form an inquiry commission.

However, a former Pakistan chief justice, Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, who was asked to head the commission, recused himself, asking the Supreme Court to deal with the issue on an institutional level.

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan bags ‘Artist in Fashion’ award at EMIGALA ceremony in Dubai 

• EMIGALA awards in Dubai acknowledge creative and innovative impacts in the beauty and fashion industries
• With a string of successful projects in film and TV, Mahira Khan is considered Pakistan’s most successful actress 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani actress Mahira Khan bagged the “Artist in Fashion” award at the recently held prestigious EMIGALA awards in Dubai, where some of the world’s biggest names in fashion and beauty worldwide were honored. 

Khan was in attendance at the award ceremony held at Festival Bay in Dubai on Apr. 27 and 28. The event featured an array of A-list attendees such as Brazilian-American beauty personality Camila Coelho, Lebanese-British fashion entrepreneur Karen Wazen, Dubai Bling star Loujain Adada, social media sensation Narins Beauty, Indian singer Arjit Singh and Khan, among others. 

The EMIGALA awards acknowledge the creative and innovative impacts of global celebrities in the realms of beauty and fashion.

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by The EMIGALA Awards (@theemigala)

Khan is counted among Pakistan’s most prolific actresses, gaining widespread recognition for her work in her country’s entertainment industry. The Pakistani actress became a household name after a string of successful drama serials following which she forayed into movies and made her mark across the border in India. 

She had her Bollywood debut opposite iconic actor Shah Rukh Khan in a crime action film, “Raees,” which was released in 2017. The Pakistani celebrity was also working on other Indian movie projects, though they could not take off when relations between the two countries deteriorated in 2016 after an Indian army brigade headquarters came under attack in Uri. The administration in New Delhi suspected Pakistan’s involvement which was denied by officials in Islamabad.

In 2021 Khan achieved another milestone when she debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, representing L’Oreal Paris Hair in her country. She has also represented various renowned local brands such as Elan, Zohra Rahman, and Menahel and Mehreen.

What is the Saudi Arabia Umrah Visa?

Please note: This visa cannot be used to perform Hajj. A separate Hajj Visa is required during this period, even if you want to perform Umrah in the same season.

Types of Saudi Arabia Umrah Visas for Pakistani nationals

Pakistani nationals can book an Umrah package online through one of the approved service providers or by visiting one of your local travel agencies approved to book Umrah packages.

Unfortunately, we cannot currently accommodate any of these visa applications, and Citizens of Pakistan are not eligible for the Saudi Arabia Tourist eVisa option we currently offer.

Step 2: Prepare all required documents for the application and submit them to your chosen travel agency. The agency will proceed with the rest of the application.

Step 3: Register on the Umrah apps . Once you enter the country, you need to download two obligatory apps on your phone: the Tawakkalna app (which works only in Saudi Arabia and will contain all your vaccination records, which you need to display when you enter hotels, restaurants, and the masjids) and the Etmarna app (which allows you to get prayer permits and have them linked to your Tawakalna.)

Umrah Visa Requirements for citizens of Pakistan

Pakistan Umrah pilgrims will generally need to prepare the following documents to apply for their Umrah visa :

• Umrah visa application form .

• Health insurance covering Covid-19 infections as well.
• Proof of meningitis vaccination at least ten days before traveling but not older than three years.

These requirements may seem overwhelming. However, remember that even basic and economy Umrah packages cover the visa, accommodation, transportation, and medical insurance already. Your Umrah package agent will assist you throughout your visa application process. Those applying for a visa on arrival or the Umrah eVisa may be required to provide additional documentation, including the relevant residency permits or visas.
