Other officers who will be honoured include Noshin Akhtar, SHO Airport Kaleem Musa, Protocol Officer Syed Danish, Furqan Rahim, Sagheer Ahmed, Director Airport Security Force Ihsan Ullah, and several members of the airport medical staff, including Executive Director Shahid Rasool, Joint Director Muhammad Suleman, Deputy Director Yahya Tanu, and Dr Chuni Lal.

It is worth noting that Robinson, who came to Karachi out of love for a Pakistani man but failed to achieve her goal, was detained by Dubai authorities.

She had arrived in Dubai from Karachi on February 7, via flight EK 603, intending to catch her connecting flight EK 203 to New York.

However, she missed the flight and, as an American citizen, entered Dubai on an on-arrival visa.

Her family and colleagues awaited her arrival in New York, but when she did not show up, US authorities began searching for her.

Videos of Robinson in Dubai streets prompted US officials to act, contacting Emirati authorities, who then restricted her movement and took her into custody.
