Swiss government has banned exiled Baloch leader Mehran Marri and his family from entering Switzerland.
Swiss government has taken the decision on the basis that his presence could pose a security risk to the country.
On Thursday, Mehran Baluch was detained at the Zurich airport for at least 12 hours and then deported by Swiss authorities, informing the prominent Baloch separatist leader that the Swiss government decided to place a lifetime ban on him on 9th of November.
According to local newspaper ‘The News” the Swiss government told Mehran Baluch that he was being banned from entry for allegedly violating “Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No. 562/2006 (Schengen Borders Code) and Articles 5 and 65 of 16 December 2005 on foreigners”.
A Swiss government source had told ‘The News’ that the action against Mehran Marri was being taken on Pakistani government’s request which had handed over a “dossier” to the Swiss authorities.
