Thirty Filipino workers expelled from Saudi Arabia said they were abused following a crackdown on illegal migrants there. This comes after an amnesty for undocumented foreigners in the Middle East country ended over the weekend. One Filipina claims Saudi Arabian police rounded them up and placed them in a crowded cell for 4 days before being sent to the
airport. Saudi Arabian embassy officials did not comment on the allegations of abuse. Under Saudi Arabia’s policy, undocumented overseas workers should have their status legalized, or face repatriation. Latest estimates show at least 4,371 Filipino workers are back in the Philippines, while around 9,000 have been issued proper travel documents. 1,500 are still waiting for immigration clearance.
