LAHORE: 28 more prisoners released by Saudi Arabia reached Lahore on Tuesday morning, authorities said.

They boarded a Pakistan International Airlines flight from Riyadh, marking the series of prisoner release bids by the Kingdom.

The immigrants have been brought back at the government’s expense.
