Some 31 Yemenis prevented from travelling

John Kennedy airport authorities on Wednesday prevented 31 Yemeni passengers from travelling on board of one plane which was leaving the airport because they had not legal visas.

News reports quoted a spokesman for the airport authorities that the Yemeni passengers were preparing to head for their countries on board of a plane for the British airways but they were prevented and held after the problem of the visa emerged. The spokesman refused to give more details not to clarify the time for their detention.
