Indonesian workers protest at consulate in Saudi Arabia

RIYADH (Reuters) - Indonesian workers frustrated by long waits to get exit visas from Saudi Arabia protested outside their Jeddah consulate on Sunday, setting fire to the building's outer wall and briefly clashing with security forces, witnesses said.

Hundreds of thousands of foreign workers in the world's top oil exporter are trying to rectify their immigration status or leave the country before July 3, when the government will resume a crackdown on illegal labour.
