Fortune-tellers deported to China

JAKARTA (JP): The Directorate General for Immigration deported
on Wednesday three Chinese nationals for breaching immigration
rules, an immigration official said.

The three, identified as Huang Tuan Zhang, 24, Guo Ya Ren, 25,
and Huang Wen Tao, 33, were apprehended last Friday at the Trans
Mangga Dua Hotel in West Jakarta.

"The three were deported today on a China Airlines flight
number CZ388 from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport,"
Directorate General for Immigration spokesman Mursanuddin A. Gani
said on Wednesday.

Director of Immigration Supervision and Action Zaiman
Nurmatias said on Tuesday that the three, who entered the country
on social-cultural visit visas on Oct. 2, had been working as
fortune-tellers.

"Immigration officials arrested the three while they were
hosting guests who were asking about their fortunes.

"The three had been monitored by officials for some time. On
the day of the raid, they had already seen 10 customers," Zaiman
said in a press statement. (edt/jun)
