Increased number of people deported from Gibraltar compared to previous years

​There has been an increase in the number of people being deported from the Rock for not having valid documents.

28 people were arrested and later deported last year for this offence. This follows four deportations in 2017 and 25 in 2016.

Prior to deportation, these ‘unauthorised’ people are held in the prison.

There are currently seven people awaiting deportation.
