Foreigners netted in IDs operation<\/p>\n
Thirty-one foreigners were apprehended for traveling without
\ncarrying identification documents in an identity card check on
\nThursday in Central Jakarta, North Jakarta and West Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The foreigners were from Japan (9), South Korea (5), China
\n(4), Taiwan (4), Australia (4) and one from Singapore, Yemen and
\nDenmark.<\/p>\n
They were released shortly after each of them had paid a fine
\nof Rp 50,000.<\/p>\n
Head of the department in charge of supervising and monitoring
\nthe city's population, H. Soemarno, said the foreigners were not
\nillegal migrants.<\/p>\n
"Most were staying in hotels and simply forgot to carry their
\npassports," he said.
\nThe operation, code-named Operasi Yustisi, has netted more than
\n10,0000 Indonesian people in the last month. Each failed to
\nproduce ID cards when asked by the operation's officers.<\/p>\n
The operation team ordered the Indonesians to pay a fine of
\nbetween Rp 3,000 and Rp 20,000.(bas)<\/p>",
