28 expats deported for residency violations
Foreign workers wait before boarding police buses transferring them to an assembly centre prior to their deportation
Riyadh - Arab Today
Twenty-eight Egyptian expatriates were deported on Thursday for violating the country’s residency and labor laws.
They were transported from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah on a plane to Cairo after receiving travel documents from their consulate, diplomatic sources said Thursday.
They were released in Cairo after the Egyptian authorities checked whether they had any other criminal convictions, an Egyptian daily reported. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly warned the country’s citizens not to violate the Kingdom’s laws.
There are around 1 million Egyptian nationals in the Kingdom, representing about 40 percent of Arab expatriates, the largest in the country.
The Kingdom has been cracking down on illegal workers in the wake of an amnesty in 2013, which allowed thousands to sort out their paperwork and remain here.
