According to a senior security source, about 10,800 residents who were in violation of the residency law were deported during the period from January 1 to June 20. In a press statement, the source explained that most of the deportees were marginal workers residing in bachelors’ residential areas. The security campaigns are continuing, and are not exclusive to one region without another.
The source denied the report about the violating workers fleeing from Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh and migrating to other areas in order to escape the intensive security campaigns, insisting that there is a security cordon and continuous monitoring of the situation.
The source said he is expecting a significant increase in the number of violators who will be caught during the next stage if the security campaigns continue in the same momentum, especially with the resumption of commercial flights with full capacity at the international airport.
