Information on the above-mentioned topic
could not be found among the sources consulted by the DIRB.
However, some statements on Saudi Arabia's summary deportation
practices can be found in the attached excerpts from the USCR's
World Refugee Survey 1996, which states that "those who overstayed
their visas or who otherwise violated temporary residency rules
were detained in poor, overcrowded conditions in deportation
facilities, and subsequently deported without judicial review
(1996, 123), and in the attached excerpts of a May 1992 Middle East
Watch report.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find below the list of
additional sources consulted in researching this Information
Request.

Note on contacting foreign diplomatic
representatives in Canada:
Embassies and high commissions are not
usually called for security-related questions such as location of
military bases or the functioning of secret services. Ability to
obtain information from diplomatic representatives depends on
availability of information and cooperation from individual
countries.
