First group of Sri Lankans held at Riyadh camp to return today

(UTV | RIYADH) – The first group of Sri Lankans held at the ‘Tarheel’ Deportation Camp in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will be returning to Sri Lanka today (30).

This will be followed by a 2nd and 3rd group also returning to Sri Lanka on 03 May and 05 May.

This repatriation process of Deportation Camp inmates is a result of an ongoing collaboration between the Saudi Authorities and the Sri Lankan Embassy in Riyadh.

Since July 2020, the Embassy has facilitated 154 Sri Lankans from the Deportation Camps to return to Sri Lanka.
