PM Orders Strict Action on Human Trafficking After Greece Tragedy
The prime minister, chairing a meeting to discuss the death of Pakistani nationals in a boat capsizing incident in Greece and the measures to curb human trafficking, called for strict action against the people involved in the trafficking of innocent people to other countries.
He recalled that 262 Pakistani nationals had lost their lives in another incident in the same area last year and expressed his displeasure over inaction against those responsible. The recurrence of such incidents is due to the sluggish actions against the people involved, he added.
Shehbaz Sharif instructed the immediate implementation of the Integrated Border Management System (IBMS) to monitor international travelers.
During the briefing, the prime minister was told that 174 people involved in human trafficking had been produced before courts with four of them convicted.
