51 Pakistanis deported from seven countries

51 Pakistani nationals have arrived in Karachi after being deported from seven countries over the last 24 hours. 

Deportees who arrived in the port city came from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

Immigration authorities informed the media that 33 people arrived from Saudi Arabia and 14 from Iraq.

However, almost all of the deportees were travelling on emergency passports except two who travelled on their original documents.
Additionally, one Pakistani each was deported from Oman, Zambia, and Qatar in the past one day.

At the same time, 30 passengers were offloaded from international flights at the Jinnah International Airport in the provincial capital late on Tuesday night  after their travel documents showed irregularities.

Geo News reported that among those offloaded were 11 passengers who were travelling on business and visit visas to China and Malaysia, whils four others who were going to Oman on family visit visas, were also barred from boarding the plane. One traveller intending to go to Uganda on a visit visa was also offloaded.

Other offloaded individuals were bound to go to Saudi Arabia — five on Umrah visas, two on business visas, and two on work visas while one passenger was travelling on a personal visit visa.

Immigration authorities at the airport said that these people were stopped from travelling abroad because of discrepancies in hotel bookings, travel funds and other logistical shortcomings.

According to officials, the offloaded passengers were going to fall victim to human smuggling, adding that most of the detained citizens have been transferred to the Anti-Human Smuggling Circle for further investigation.

 Meanwhile, some people were allowed to go back home.

On Monday it was reported that 63 Pakistanis were deported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Malaysia.
Among the deportees, 29 were sent back to the country from Saudi Arabia. Four of them were involved in begging, 15 in fraudulent activities and 10 others for overstaying their visas.

16 other Pakistani nationals were deported from Malaysia as prohibited immigrants. On the other hand, 11 were sent back from Iraq after issuance of emergency passports due to illegal entry and overstaying.

 
Additionally, four Pakistani nationals were deported from the UAE when their visas expired. 

This is not the first time Pakistanis were deported from countries abroad due to the said issues.
