The first group of Sri Lankans held at the ‘Tarheel’ deportation camp in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will be returning to Sri Lanka today.

Embassy of Sri Lanka in Riyadh said this will be followed by a second and third group also returning to Sri Lanka on May 03 and 05.

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.

The Embassy has facilitated 154 Sri Lankans from the deportation camps to return to Sri Lanka since July 2020.
