7
RAWALPINDI: As many as 20 illegal immigrants were deported by the Saudi authorities and arrived at the Islamabad International Airport. Two of them were taken into custody by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for leaving the country illegally.
A senior FIA official said the 20 Pakistanis were arrested by the Saudi authorities for staying in the kingdom illegally and were sent back amid tight security on a scheduled flight on Saturday.
After the verification process, 18 of the deportees were allowed to go home and two were taken to the FIA’s Anti-Human Trafficking Cell for legal proceedings as the Pakistani authorities did not have their travel records.

These Pakistanis are giving a very bad name to Pakistan. A serious and effective crackdown action is required to eliminate this deadly and notorious human trafficking network operating in Pakistan.

If they were in prison we would cry louder. Every man must take responsibility for his own actions.

Why Saudis are following this policy of throwing Pakistanis only?? There are lots of Africans etc without visas they are just workers.
