34 Chinese citizens deported

TANGERANG: Fifty-nine Chinese women, including a number of
prostitutes, have been arrested in Jakarta and deported for
abusing their tourist visas.

Directorate General of Immigration spokesman Ade E. Dahlan
said 34 women were flown from Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport to Hong Kong on Monday.

A further 25 Chinese women were sent home last Friday.

The deportees were caught during raids at the International
Trade Center in Kuningan, South Jakarta, and in a hotel in West
Jakarta last week, Dahlan told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

They entered the country last month using tourist visas. Some
of the women were found to be conducting business activities at
the trade center while others were employed as sex workers at the
hotel in West Jakarta, Dahlan said. --JP
