I am writing with regard to the report “One dead, 9 injured in deportation center riot” (Mar. 4). It is amazing to read this news. The police should stop the atrocities being committed against these poor hapless expats. Also it is clear that these so-called illegal expats want to go home. Why have they been kept at detention centers for months? I have personally seen in Riyadh people who wanted to go voluntary before the November deadline but had to wait in queues for days in order to register. Most of them had legal visas, but their sponsors registered them as “huroob” without informing the poor expats. I don't know what the future of expats in Saudi Arabia will be.
