Korea considers in-flight meals for foreigners awaiting deportation

The South Korean government is considering providing regular in-flight meals to foreign nationals awaiting deportation, aiming to improve their treatment and uphold basic rights. The Korea Immigration Service is revising policies at Incheon Airport's detention facility, where detainees previously received only bread and drinks upon arrival. The proposed change would offer more substantial meals, aligning with international standards and enhancing South Korea's reputation. Officials emphasized that this revision reflects a commitment to human rights and improved conditions for those facing deportation. Foreigners denied entry who await repatriation already receive in-flight meals worth approximately $5.
