of whom 10 of them

Post by tamguatlay »

In fact, it was reported on Friday that the police have arrested 29 women of various nationalities, aged between 20 and 47, in an operation targeting pivoted KTVs, of whom 10 of them will be deported as their short-term visit passes and work passes were cancelled.

Can "10 of whom" replace "of whom 10 of them"?

Thanks.

Yes, and in any case 'of them' is incorrect and should be deleted.
