Among the detained people for violating legal requirements, 40,391 were instructed to contact their country's embassy or consulate to obtain proper documentation for travel, 3,016 were told to complete booking arrangements for their departures, and 13,383 were repatriated.
The Ministry of Interior has warned that any person who facilitates the illegal entry of individuals into the Kingdom, transports them on its territory, provides them with shelter or with any other assistance or service may be penalized with up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to SAR1 million, and that the vehicles used for transport or housing used for shelter may be impounded.
The ministry stressed that such acts are major crimes that warrant arrest.
It also urges people to report any violations by calling 911 in the Makkah, Riyadh, and Eastern regions, and 999 and 996 in the rest of the Kingdom.
