Gen. Abdulaziz bin Othman Al-Souli announced the capture
of violators at checkpoints who were trying to enter Makkah
and the Holy Mashair in female clothing.
He confirmed to local media that around 123,950 people
were turned back for not having Haj permits along with
more than 36,000 vehicles that were not authorized to enter
the Mashair, in addition to 1,340 who transported violators.
He said all those captured were referred to relevant
authorities and confirmed that five fake Haj offices have
been caught and more than 200 people who don’t have Haj
permits have been fingerprinted.
He said that this year's plan focused on moving pilgrims
from one holy site to the next easily and smoothly and in
record time. The plan was completed early. Work on this
plan started at the end of the last Haj season and the
positive side has been developed and previous negative
points were avoided.
He added that some people revert to new cheating methods
to get to the Mashair; some of them tried to sneak in
wearing female clothes, but many attempts have been
frustrated, thanks to the vigilance of security forces.
Al-Souli underlined that 58 fake Haj offices were monitored
this year as well as the people behind them. Officials will
not allow any attempt to carry on such activities and they
will be on the look out for these illegal activities
