Latvian govt releases 10 Pakistanis
2004-02-09
An old article showing the terrorist case in Latvia seems to have been a mistake
Latvian Government has withdrawn its charges of terrorism against 10 Pakistani ’Taekwando players’, thanks to the persistent efforts of human rights activist Ansar Burney. The release orders were issued by the Secretary of the Ministry of Interior of the State of Latvia, J. Reksna. According to Latvian Police they had detained 10 Pakistani citizens, on November 21, fearing Pakistanis might have been preparing a terrorist attack targeting the visiting Israeli basketball team. The crime as far as Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International had come to know, on which these 10 Pakistani players were arrested in Latvia is; they had return flight to Pakistan via Russia in a plane in which Israeli team was suppose to travel.

#1  I think that the average Pakistani must finally be getting the message that the radicals in their country have ruined the reputation of Pakistanis all over the world. Since Pakistan has become a homeland of the terrorist theology that killing people randomly is a good tactic, then the world's random people will watch Pakistanis with extreme caution.
