Two Pakistanis to be deported

JAKARTA (JP): Two Pakistani citizens are to be deported by the North Jakarta Immigration Office for violating immigration regulations, an official said on Thursday.

Jakarta Immigration Coordinator Hamsuk S. Widjaya identified the two Pakistanis as Shahzad Ahmed, 23, who holds passport No. 483880, and Mansoor Ahmed, 28, Passport No. 538740.

"The two arrived in Indonesia through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Sept. 22 in possession of limited stay visas issued by the Indonesian Consulate in Islamabad," he said.

"When immigration officers checked the address of their sponsors, it was found to be fictitious," he said.

Hamsuk immediately ordered the head of the North Jakarta Immigration Office, Iskandar Subur Hartono, to deport them as soon as possible.

"We will not hesitate to take stern action against those who violate existing immigration regulations," Hamsuk said. (hhr)
