Islamabad, Pakistan – The French embassy in Pakistan has advised all French nationals and companies to temporarily leave the country, after violent protests by a far-right party that has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of committing “blasphemy”.
A French embassy official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the development to Al Jazeera on Thursday.
“I confirm that, due to the situation in Pakistan, we have advised the French citizens and companies to leave the country temporarily,” the official said.
A second French official said that while the embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad would remain open, some staff would also be leaving the country.
