If Pakistani have extradited Ehsan Arjmandi to the Iranian authority, if it is a true story that would be heart breaking news for those concerned for Ehsan’s wellbeing.
Ehsan Arjmandi is a Norwegian national, he has a valid Pakistani visa and he went missing while travelling around Pakistan, allegedly he has been picked up by ISI. Pakistani Embassy has issued a visa to Ehsan, if he is a threat to the state; Pakistani ambassador should have not issued him the visa. I believe Ehsan does not have valid Iranian documents, Pakistan cannot extradite him to Iran legally, he is not Iranian he is a Norwegian national and he has committed no crimes in Iran.
The Norwegian state should be more concerned than anyone else that one of her citizens has been sold to Iranian intelligence by Pakistan. The Norwegian government doesn’t need reminders to perform her duty, which is to protect Norwegian citizens. The Norwegian government has a moral duty to intervene. One of her citizens is missing inside Pakistan; there are eyes witness reports that suggest he has been abducted by the state agencies.
Ehsan’s case deserves investigation by Pakistan authority to the satisfaction of Ehsan’s family. The Norwegian government should be doing something to recover Ehsan Arjmandi from the Pakistani intelligence.
If he has been handed over to Iran, in my opinion the Norwegian government is failing Ehsan Arjmand.
Sarjov.

Please write a letter to Norwegian Foreign Minister and the department dealing with safety ofcitizens while abroad. Norway needs to tell Pakistan that it cannot apply blatant laws of dissapearances to Norwegian citizens, and ISI and MI ned to stop harassing huma beings who have their right to speak.This should be taken up with the Prime Minister of Norway in a meeting by Norwegian Baloch community as soon as possible.
