The government of Pakistan has adopted a strict approach toward its citizens involved in criminal activities abroad, particularly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as reported by ARY News citing the Ministry of Interior.
As per official sources, the passports of 4,700 Pakistani nationals currently imprisoned in the UAE have been deactivated.
This action follows detailed reports from UAE authorities concerning 5,292 Pakistani citizens serving sentences for various crimes.
Among these, 2,470 individuals were convicted of drug-related offenses, while 100 were linked to cases involving fraud, deception, and sexual harassment.
Additionally, the passports of 704 Pakistanis jailed for theft and 216 for murder and robbery have also been invalidated. Moreover, 375 Pakistani nationals residing unlawfully in the UAE have had their passports revoked.

welldone, a perfect idiotic move.
Those who spoil the name of the country, should be dealt with even strong hands…because of these criminals, we have visa problems. World should know that we have no heart for criminals
@Shida, Perfect and idiotic at the same time, if it wasn’t sarcasm you have spoken like an idiot.
What kind of end result does the Government seek in blocking the passports? Will it deter other people from committing crimes in the UAE? This is the most childish step that might result in serious repercussions.
What serious repercussions…..you want these criminals to roam either in other parts of the world or in Pakistan, travelling on Pakistani Passport?, don’t you know we are recognized as a thief nations because if the acts of these criminals abroad.

Govt should also block passport theirs own government person who have been involved in criminal and corruption and money laundering.
Good suggestion. The whole govt of Pakistan is itself consisting of thieves. First of all these thieves must be punished and their passports be blocked so they don’t travel abroad.
All are madarchod
It’s a good step by the government,please make a strict checking in Pakistan before issuing a passport to anyone. In 1950s Pakistan passport was very difficult to obtain and it was respected all over the world.
Pakistani govt should takes strict action against criminals.
This act does not make sense might be mainay prisoned are not guilty if government block passport I have not seen such kind of law might be Roman kingdom time these type of law rule common
This is good news only if they are proven guilty.
Passports should be blocked of any Pakistani officials who are at the end of their retirement and this should include all the Army personnel irrespective of their Ranks

U are sitting in a big car u can afford more and if u don’t give them anything they start cursing I’ve had a very bad experience near delhi Nihari sharjah the guy was literally cursing u will die hungry and blah blah blah
Similarly, in Baku, Azerbaijan, the same thing is happening. I am the one who came to Pakistan from Azerbaijan and lost 60 lac rupees because of Pakistani nationals named Safia Younus (Aisha), Shehroz Younus, and Muhammad Younus. I have all the documentary proof and will provide it to anyone who asks.
