Wow.
ReplyDeleteDeported just for protesting
They don’t have residents permits
DeleteI think the new law in Egypt says you require a permit from the authorities to organise a protest. Upon flouting this rule, they were apprehended and their immigration status examined as part of investigation. They may be there legally.
DeleteWhy did they not take permission? If you are in a country obey their rules.
ReplyDeleteMay God help them not to come back to this shithole of a country
But why embark on such a protest knowing fully well that you're an illegal citizen?
ReplyDeleteI pray the find leniency as said up there.
Na wa...o
ReplyDeleteOh Chim!! When you're in a foreign land,obey rules and regs oh! I hope they pardon them,cos deporting them back here will be demoralizing
ReplyDeleteThey should have known better na. Always seek for permission for such protests when in a foreign land.
ReplyDeleteHow can you want to stage a protest when you are not legal.
ReplyDeletePlease they should not deport them ooo, I beg on their behalf, cos they will come face the SARS they are protesting against in naija
Who sent them, when they don't have PR, are they not supposed to be hiding instead of showing themselves ?
