Officials from the Passport Department in Riyadh arrested 28 Filipino workers in Al-Rabwah and Umm Sulaim districts of the city for violating the Kingdom’s residence and labor regulations.
The violations include running away from sponsors, working for people who are not their sponsors and using forged documents.
Director of the Passport Department in Riyadh Brig. Abdul Rahman Al-Tuwairqi warned people against hiring domestic workers illegally as there are security and health risks involved. The official urged members of the public to inform the authorities if they see anyone who has violated the Kingdom’s regulations.
