21 fishermen have been referred to deportation by the authorities due to the presence of monofilament yarn with them on the boats.

Head of the Kuwaiti Fishermen Union Dhaher Al-Suwayan appealed to the authorities not to deport them for this minor violations.

Al-Suwayan appealed to His Highness the Prime Minister to consider the deserved demands of the fishermen and lift the injustice from this labor class that are working to provide food security in the country.

"There are minor violations by some fishermen, but it is unfortunate that they are deported instead of being held accountable. The deportation of fishermen against the background of some minor violations causes the fishing seasons to end prematurely, and also causes the lack of local product and its unavailability," Al-Suwayan said.
