A Pakistani diplomat in Dhaka, on Friday, disclosed to the media that the principal of a Dhaka-based Pakistani school has been released by the police and has arrived home safely after the matter was resolved cordially.
The principal, Yasmeen Rajbhoy was in police custody a little earlier and freed after the Pakistan High Commission interfered and negotiated with the local officials according to the spokesperson for Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka, Ambreen Jan.
The spokesperson elucidated that the principal was not arrested but rather in “protective custody due to the law and order situation in the city”.
Following Pakistan’s strong protests over the execution of Jamaat-i-Islami leader Motiur Rehman Nizami in Dhaka on Tuesday, local authorities demanded a shutdown of the school. Parents of the students, in efforts to counter the shutdown, staged a protest and succeeded in making the authorities revert their decision.
Mr. Jan went on to say that the school was permitted to carry out the rest of its academic year with their principal in charge to oversee school affairs.
