Ministry of Interior of the Government of National Unity has confirmed the conduct of land convoys to deport 230 illegal immigrants to their countries, including Egyptians, Sudanese and Chadians.

The ministry said in a statement that the deportation took place last Thursday as part of the voluntary return programme for the migrants, via buses that set off by land towards Egypt in the east and Chad and Sudan in the south.

The Anti-Illegal Immigration Agency will start in the coming days, to deport other batches of illegal immigrants who entered Libya in previous periods without official documents, according to the ministry.
