Hundreds of Bangladeshi workers were deported from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for inciting labor unrest. Many arrived in Dhaka from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Kuwaiti police have arrested about 1,000 workers for staging demonstrations.

Thousands of workers had been on strike in Kuwait since Thursday protesting low wages, bad work conditions and exploitations.

Matiur Rahman Chowdhury has the details.
