News Text (from MIDDLE EAST EYE)

New Lines Magazine reported that authorities in the United Arab Emirates have detained and deported up to 15,000 Pakistani workers, many of them Shia Muslims, without formal charges. The report said the actions followed a pattern of arrests, phone confiscations, transfers between detention sites

and deportation flights to Pakistan.

The workers were sent back "without being given the opportunity to withdraw their funds" from banks, the report cited a Shia cleric as saying. 

Many of those expelled had spent decades working in the UAE, where migrant remittances remain a critical source of income for families and foreign exchange for Pakistan.

UAE borders Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south and west, as well as sharing maritime borders with Qatar to the west and Iran to

The sovereign constitutional monarchy is a federation of seven emirates consisting of Abu Dhabi (which serves as the capital), Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. Their boundaries are complex, with numerous enclaves within the various emirates. Each emirate is governed by a ruler; together, they jointly form the Federal Supreme Council. One of the rulers serves as the President of the United Arab Emirates. In 2013, the UAE's population was 9.2 million, of which 1.4 million are Emirati citizens and 7.8 million are expatriates.
