The men were charged with contravening the immigration act. After they were arrested, Home Affairs immediately revoked their visas, which were obtained under misrepresentation.
They have been in the country since April, and according to the police, they were here for security training.
After the charges were dropped, the men were happy and ready to go home; however, the administration continues to delay their departure.
