The security sources told the daily, the deportees were held at the Talha Prison and that before being deported they were fingerprinted and photographed and all procedures related to their deportation process were completed within a record time and flown out of the country.

The reasons for their deportation varied between administrative deportation and verdicts issued by the criminal court, in addition to those caught for violating the residence and labor laws. The sources indicated that the deportation of this large number of expatriates in just 3 days is seen as the first in recent years in terms of numbers, which confirms the deportation prison works for the speedy completion of deportation procedures to ensure deportees don’t stay behind bars for long periods unlike what used to happen a few years back.
