Why are you guys so obsessed with this story?
Whether its the Saudi or the Pakistani fault it doesn't matter. No country is being humiliated, its just a fight in an airport. I didn't know us Saudis command that much attention in Pakistan. People talking about diplomatic relations!WTF!
The question is why hasn't authorities released CCTV footage? Something to hide probably...
Anyway, with the low pay & horrible conditions, the security guys most likely snapped & lashed out at the poor man and his son.
Note to self, don't visit Pakistan...
Oh wait I was never planning too
refer to my posts and fellow Pakistani posts on this who agree that the level of force used against the Saudi individual was excessive and unjustified.
answer to few questions you raised.
after supporting or opposing the act of the ASF if we had stopped at that then this thread would have died out in fisrt 3 or 4 pages.
so some of us brought in the political aspect
the over all behavior of Saudi authorities and employers with Pakistanis in Saudia
and then the sectarian aspect and the fatwas started flowing
if some of us justified the ASF act then people were branded Shia or Ahmedi etc. likewise the other group that was siding with the Saudi individual or Saudi regime in general was branded a wahabi and Saudi slave.
all of this above was irrelevant and unjustified. like I said in my previous posts I dont care about the nationality of the person and how Pakistanis are treated in his country. the issue was the unprofessional conduct of the ASF, CCTV footage will just confirm what we already see in the picture.
the guy has been beaten up in front of his son and so badly. we all have missed that aspect. its the most humiliating aspect of all. this is something what Israelis and American occupation forces do to us, they humiliate us in front of our family, these psychological scars are far more deeper than the physical wounds. I dont know if in the process his son also got beaten up or not because its not covered in the report.
CCTV might show that the Saudi traveler was out of the line, aggressive and abusive but thats where the training and professionalism of a security force comes in who is supposed to deescalate the situation, not take it to next level. simple gripping and restraining with a help of few colleagues would have brought down the rowdy individual.
I am sorry I am repeating what I have said already. but bottom-line for me is that the level of force used by ASF staff was unjustified against the unarmed passenger an apology is in order and the people involved need to be removed from active duty and sent on a training course to properly conduct themselves. because both the domestic and other foreign passengers can have the same experience at their hands.
they must exhibit that they are not American thugs with twitchy fingers manning a checkpost in occupied Iraq or Afghanistan but the fellow citizens doing their duty to protect the passengers and the airport.
for the rest of the people who like to brand others Shia , Rafidi, Wahabi or Ahmedi.. please quit it. this is not a fatwa forum and Pakistan is neither Iran or Saudi Arabia and never will be insha-Allah.
those who cant accept that fact and conspire against us get the drone therapy and get pooped in the forehead eventually no matter how close they live near the military academy or the red house of God in the capital.
