Will not compromise Maldives' border security: Shamaan

Immigration Controller Mohamed Shamaan Waheed has said that regardless of how much criticism or allegations the office faces in their efforts to resolve the issue of illegal expatriates, they would not compromise the security of Maldives' borders.

In a press conference held at the President's Office on Tuesday, Shamaan responded to a question posed by a journalist saying that no expatriate would be detained just for being a foreigner without any basis. If there is an allegation against them, then proper investigations are conducted, and the person in question deported when there is evidence against them.
