12 Colombians deported including “a danger to the State”
Panamanian authorities deported 12 Colombians on Wednesday, June 14 including one linked to a femicide and who represented “a danger to the State”.
This was the fifth deportation flight of 12 Colombians, in a collaboration between Senafront, the National Migration Service (SNM), and the National Aeronaval Service (Senan).
According to the Panamanian authorities, these Colombians entered Panama irregularly and maintain criminal records or ties to them in their respective countries.
The deputy director of the SNM, María Isabel Saravia, said that the operation was carried out by the SNM and the Senan, considering that they represent a security danger for the country and the region.
” Within this group upon arrival in Colombia, the authorities of that country proceeded with the capture of one of these people who had an outstanding warrant for femicide,” added Saravia.
This was the fifth flight with deportees expelled made since May 10 of this year, which adds up to a total of 54 Colombians sent to their country, respecting their rights and following the procedures established by law.
To date, the SNM, through commercial flights, has carried out 204 deportations and expulsions of people of various nationalities, to which are added those carried out on Wednesday.
