174 more Bangladeshis return home from Libya
Another 174 Bangladeshi nationals returned home from Libya on Tuesday. They arrived at Dhaka at 2:30 pm aboard a Burak Air chartered flight, according to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The repatriation was coordinated by the Bangladesh Embassy in Libya, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The returnees had been staying in Libya irregularly.
Most of the returnees had entered Libya with the intention of traveling illegally to Europe via human traffickers. Many had experienced abductions and abuse during their stay.
Officials from the foreign ministry and the IOM welcomed the returnees at the airport and requested them to share their difficult experiences to raise public awareness.
Each returnee received travel allowances, food supplies, basic medical care, and temporary shelter from the IOM.
The joint efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Bangladesh Embassy in Libya, the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment, and the IOM continue to ensure the safe return of Bangladeshis detained in various centers in Libya, reports UNB.
