Two foreigners to be deported

BANDUNG: Two foreigners, a Thai and an Italian, will be
deported by the Bandung Immigration Office for overstaying their
visas.

Head of the immigration office Tri Adi Dharma said the two
foreigners -- Amran Samoh, 23, and Valerio Cogrossi, 55 -- were
arrested on Dec. 29 and Dec. 30 in different places.

"We have contacted their embassies in Jakarta and they will
send them home to their respective countries," Tri said on
Monday.

Cogrossi, a former employee of a private company, did not
extend his visa-on-arrival for over five months, while Amran -- a
student at a private university in Bandung -- did not extend his
visa for three months.

According to data from the West Java Justice and Human Rights
office's immigration division, at least 34 foreigners were
deported in 2004 for overstaying their visas and other
violations. -- JP
