Egypt announces plans to deport about 650 Sudanese refugees rounded up in a violent raid last week.
A spokeswoman said about 650 Sudanese, found to be "illegal immigrants" or to have "violated security conditions", would be sent home by ship on Thursday.
Earlier the UN refugee agency said it had received assurances from Egypt that refugees would not be sent home.
