Since March 2014, out of a total number of 300 detainees release of 226 detainees has been ensured, said a statement of the FO here Friday.
This figure is unprecedented both if compared with previous figures of release of Pakistani prisoners in the past as well as in comparison to any other expatriate community in Libya.
