Saudi Arabia (AP) – Saudi Arabia stopped pilgrimage permits for more than 269,000 people entering Mecca without permission as authorities entered the city in violation of illegal travel, officials said Sunday.
The government blames unauthorized participants on the overcrowding of the North. It also said that they formed a large number of people who died in the heat of last year’s hot summer.
The number of evictions highlights the scale of unauthorized pilgrimage, as well as the need to execute dynasty. Currently, there are officially 1.4 million Muslims in Mecca and are expected to arrive in the future.
For anyone who does not permit to go to j, there are fines up to $5,000 and other punitive measures such as deportation. The policy includes citizens and those with Saudi Arabia’s right to residency.
At a press conference in Mecca, officials said they had stopped 269,678 people and did not have permits to enter the city. By the rules, only those with permits are allowed to perform pilgrimage even if they live in the city all year round.
Officials also imposed penalties on more than 23,000 Saudi residents who violated the North Korean regulations and revoked the permits of 400 North Korean companies.
Lieutenant General Mohammed al-Omari told the media: “In our opinion, anyone who does not comply is in our hands.”
The dynasty is the annual Islamic pilgrimage in Mecca, involving a series of religious rituals. This is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for every Muslim who has the ability to afford and physically be able to do it.
But concerns over extreme temperatures have hurt in recent years, with pilgrims performing rituals outdoors during peak summer hours.
Historically, deaths in the North Korea were not uncommon, with more than 2 million people sometimes traveling to Saudi Arabia for a five-day pilgrimage. It also saw fatal stampedes and other accidents.
Saudi Arabia’s civil defense said on Sunday that North Korea’s drone was used for the first time. These can be used for monitoring and monitoring as well as for extinguishing fires.
