NGURAH BAI IMMIGRATION TO DEPORT TWO IRANIAN NATIONALS
Tuban, East Java, Indonesia, July 16 (ANTARA) - The immigration office at Bali's Ngurah Rai airport will soon deport two Iranians who were arrested for using fake passports, a spokesman said.
"They were arrested on July 14, 2008, when they were about to depart to Japan by a Garuda Indonesia flight," Bambang Hendro Purnomo of the Ngurah Rai airport immigration office said on Wednesday.
The Iranians were arrested for holding fake Dutch and Swiss passports which they had bought in Thailand for US$1.000.
They had arrived in Indonesia on July 7 for a stopover before proceeding to Japan.
Purnomo said the Ngurah Rai immigration office had in the past discovered many similar cases in which foreigners holding fake passports obtained in Malaysia or Thailnad made stopovers in Bali before traveling to other countries.
Last July 10, 2008, the local immigration office also deported an Iranian national for holding a fake passport.
