This was because they had violated the residency and labor laws. Some of them were caught in places violating public morals. Several procedures are being carried out by the Deportation Department to complete the procedures of all violators referred to it by security authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The recent rounds of security investigators resulted in the arrest of violators of the residency law, including some whose residency had expired more than five years ago. Some were also arrested for working for different sponsors. The sources warned people against harboring workers who are in violation of the residency and labor laws and those reported as absconding because they will expose themselves to legal accountability.<\/p>\n<p>They said the security campaigns of the General Department for Residency Affairs Investigations target commercial centers and random markets in order to arrest all violators of the residency law, and marginal workers, as well as those reported as absconding, based on instructions from the top leadership of the Ministry of Interior.<\/p>\n<p>The sources said, \u201cWith the continuation of the security campaigns of the General Department for Residency Affairs Investigations, the number of violators of the residency law in the country will decrease. Also, expatriate workers will abide by the residency and labor laws and pay the fines due on them\u201d. They stressed that the Ministry of Interior is not against the expatriates, but is against the violators of the residency and labor laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security campaigns are expected to be intensified by the General Department for Residency Affairs Investigations in the coming days all over the country especially in high density expatriate areas and markets to arrest violators of the residency and labor laws, including absconders and wanted persons, Arabic daily Al Seyassah reported.
