"The detained Bangladesh workers are awaiting deportation now," Faisal Ahmed, an official of the Bangladesh embassy working in Dammam, told bdnews24.com on Wednesday. Saudi police detained them in a drive conducted from Monday through to Wednesday, Faisal said. "They were working as suppliers in several companies without permission, which is a punishable offence under the Saudi laws. He said a foreign worker needs the permission of his or her previous employer in case of changing job.
