Of the remaining two, one was handed over to Larkana authorities and the other to Lahore officials.
Saudi Arabia deported 14 individuals over charges including blacklisting, drug offenses, theft, and lack of passports. Meanwhile, five individuals rescued from human trafficking were deported—three from Mauritania and two from Senegal—who were taken into AHTC custody.
The UAE sent back 31 Pakistanis, including 19 convicted of drug-related crimes, theft, overstaying, and other offenses.
