FO Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch labeled the report as “fake news” when asked about the alleged transfer of suspects to Pakistan.

The incident occurred on July 20 when a group of protesters, primarily Afghan nationals, turned violent during a demonstration in Frankfurt. The protesters vandalized the consulate, throwing stones at the building and removing the Pakistani flag.

Following the attack, German authorities arrested two suspects and are continuing to investigate the incident using video footage to identify additional perpetrators.

Pakistan strongly condemned the attack, criticizing the German authorities for failing to protect the consulate and ensure the safety of its diplomats.

The FO emphasized that the host government is responsible for the security of diplomatic missions under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Pakistan has formally protested the incident to the German government, demanding immediate action to apprehend and prosecute those involved. The country also urged Germany to address the security lapses that allowed the attack to occur.
