Interpol rejected Pakistan request to issue Red Warrant for arrest and extradition of Hussain Nawaz.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Interpol has rejected Pakistani government’s request to issue Red Warrant for the arrest and extradition of Hussain Nawaz, son of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Dunya News reported on Sunday.
The government of Pakistan had submitted the request for extradition of Hussain Nawaz Interpol’s National Central Bureau (NCB) in Islamabad. Pakistani authorities made robust representations to the international body, relying on the recent court decision against Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar, but it failed to convince the Interpol for the issuance of red warrants against Hussain Nawaz.
Interpol’s Commission’s decision was made on 11 pages. The decision reads: “The Commission finds that the NCB of Pakistan has not provided sufficient facts that specifically link the wanted individual to the charges against him and it is not able to confirm that the data registered would be in compliance with Interpol’s rule and in view of the Article 83 of the PRD.”
