The
Mataram Immigration Office in West Nusa Tenggara arrested five Timor Leste
citizens on Monday for allegedly misusing travel documents and breaking
Indonesian regulations.
The
five people allegedly used travel documents to enter Indonesian territory so
they could later work in the country. “Mataram immigration officers arrested
them in Lembar waters, West Lombok, on Monday morning,”Sevial Akmily, the
office head of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Law and Human Rights Ministry, told
reporters.
Separately,
162 Military Region Command/Wirabhakti Mataram commander Col. Inf. Farid Makruf
said military personnel would continue monitoring the movement of foreigners
within NTB territory.
Farid
said the military arrested 12 Chinese nationals in West Lombok recently. “We
have submitted the case to the immigration office to further process it.”
The
12 Chinese trespassers would be deported soon.
Farid
said destinations like Lombok and Sumbawa, also in NTB, attracted foreign
tourists, but they also potentially misused tourism for other purposes.
