Azerbaijani Woman Refuses to Return Home After Assault Incident in Lahore

LAHORE: A 22-year-old Azerbaijani woman, Diana Romak Qizi Baghiyeva, has reportedly refused to return to her home country following a distressing incident of alleged sexual assault. Airport sources in Lahore confirmed that she was brought to the airport lounge by security agencies for immigration clearance but declined to board her flight back to Azerbaijan.

According to officials, Diana was subjected to a traumatic experience during her stay in Pakistan, prompting her decision to remain in the country. The authorities are currently assessing her situation and providing necessary support. Diana’s case has raised concerns regarding the safety of foreign nationals in Pakistan, particularly women.

This incident highlights the ongoing issues of women’s safety and the need for stronger protective measures for tourists and expatriates in Pakistan. It also underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing such sensitive matters, as the Azerbaijani government may seek to intervene on behalf of its citizen.

Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Further developments are anticipated as both local and international stakeholders engage in discussions regarding Diana’s welfare and the broader implications for foreign visitors in Pakistan.
