Unlike earlier answers about India and Chinau2019s evacuations, I can only tell about the evacuation of one person done by a country for its citizen, and I am a witness to that extraordinary event. I consider it u201cextraordinaryu201d because the country was willing to go through the trouble and the expense just for one of their citizen detained in a foreign land. It was more than 10 years ago, Iu2019m not sure if it was 2023 or 2023. so please forgive me if I did not remember or get all the details right.A Filipino seaman was in jail for bringing a refrigerator into Indonesia, I think he was charged with smuggling (a serious offense). But the Philippine Consul General in Manado (Indonesia) was convinced of the Filipino seamanu2019s innocence. So she (the Consul General) requested and obtained approval to rescue and evacuate the Filipino seaman. And she did it by herself (accompanied by a staff). First, she had to fly commercial from Manado to Makassar, a one and a half hour flight by a Boeing 737.I had the privilege of picking her up from the airport in Makassar, then went together with her to see the Regional Chief of Police (a 2-star General). She explained the case to him, the General agreed to look into it (did not say he will release the suspect). Then she informed the General that she will visit her countryman in jail. And she took a small turboprop aircraft (like in the photo below) from Makassar to Sorowako.The next day or two, I received a call that she was able to get the Filipino seaman released, they were on their way back to Makassar by bus (she wanted to leave immediately but there was no flight, so they took the bus like in the photo below) and asked me to buy plane ticket (Makassar to Manado) for them.It was a long and tiring journeyu2026I met them in Makassar, gave them their tickets (got reimbursed because she insisted to repay me) and see them off at the airport.
