Two Myanmarese deported from Sorong

SORONG, Papua: Sorong immigration office deported on Monday two
Myanmar nationals, Kyaw and Soe, for visa violations.

Head of Sorong immigration office Achmad Widodo said that the
two were deported because they did not possess visas while in
Sorong.

The two were arrested a few days ago in Sorong.

According to Achmad, the two had already been flown to Jakarta
early on Monday morning aboard a Merpati commercial airplane.

They were handcuffed and guarded by an official from the
Sorong immigration office until they reached their destination in
Jakarta.

They were due to be placed in the Jakarta immigration office
quarantine section in Jakarta, before being deported from the
country, said Achmad.

"They tried once to escape after we arrested them in Sorong,
so strict security measures had to be applied," said Achmad,
explaining why they were handcuffed. -- JP
