The Anti-Illegal Immigration Authority in Greater Benghazi has deported 194 Egyptian nationals who were found in violation of Libyan residency, entry, and public health regulations, according to an official statement issued on Sunday.
The deportation was carried out via the Emssaed border crossing, with authorities confirming that 187 individuals had official expulsion orders issued on security grounds. Additionally, 7 individuals were found to be suffering from contagious diseases, as confirmed by medical reports.
Among those deported were 4 women and 3 children who had been detained during joint anti-begging campaigns conducted in coordination with other Libyan state institutions.
The Benghazi branch of the Anti-Illegal Immigration Authority affirmed its ongoing commitment to implementing government directives aimed at curbing irregular migration. It also emphasized that all deportation procedures adhered to legal and humanitarian standards, with the goal of upholding Libya’s national sovereignty and internal security.
The operation is part of a wider effort by Libyan authorities to manage migration flows amid ongoing concerns over public health and security threats posed by illegal crossings and undocumented residency.
