Visa Rejection for Punjab Police Officials

General Discussion

Two senior officers of the Punjab Police, including one DIG and one SSP, have been denied a French visit visa. Both officers had applied for the visa to travel to France for a private visit, and their applications were accompanied by a supporting letter issued by the Inspector General of Punjab. According to sources, after reviewing the applications, the French Embassy rejected them and stated in writing that the primary reason for the refusal was the alleged involvement of the Punjab Police in human rights violations in Pakistan. The response also indicated that under the policies of the European Union and France, visas cannot be granted to individuals affiliated with institutions that face serious allegations of human rights abuses or against whom credible reports exist. — Journalist Razi Tahir
