Some 144 more irregular Bangladeshi nationals have returned home from Libya.
A chartered flight of Buraq Air carrying them landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 4 am on Friday.
They were brought back with the efforts of the Bangladesh Embassy in Libya and the help of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) there.
With this, a total of 1,390 Bangladeshi citizens, who were held in detention centers and isolated places in Tripoli and Benghazi cities, returned home so far from July 2023.
Mostafa Jamil Khan, director (welfare) of the Finance Ministry, met the returnees at the airport and requested them to make everyone aware to avoid going abroad through illegal ways.
