A total of 175 Bangladeshi expats have returned home from Libya with the assistance of the Bangladesh Embassy in Tripoli, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

They arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka around 6am on Thursday (21 August) on a flight operated by Buraq Air.

Most of the returnees had entered Libya in an attempt to reach Europe illegally via the Mediterranean Sea, lured by human traffickers. Many of them were subjected to abduction and torture at different times during their stay in Libya.

Upon their arrival in Dhaka, IOM officials welcomed the returnees at the airport.
