Palu, C Sulawesi, April 7 (ANTARA News) - The Palu immigration office had deported three Chinese nationals for violating Indonesia`s immigration regulation , according to a local immigration official.

Head of the Palu Immigration Office`s Supervision and Sanction Section Marsongko said here Thursday the three Chinese nationals had been sent to Jakarta by Lion Air last Tuesday (April 5).

They left Indonesia for China from Soekarno-Hatta international airport on Thursday.

"Just now I received a call from Purnomo, an official of the Palu immigration office who accompanied by the three foreigners from Palu to Jakarta, that they have left via the Soekarno-Hatta International on Thursday morning," he said.

The three Chinese were arrested on March 28, 2011. They had claimed of having been working for a mining company at Morowali and managed to show immigration documents such as passports, visa and temporary stay permits.

"However, after checking the documents of the three who had claimed to work in PT Fu Hui, a Chinese mining company, which had sponsored their entry into Central Sulawesi, we found out that it was fictive," he said.

The address and telephone number of PT Fu Hui In Jakarta was fictive, he said.

The Palu immigration office decided to deport them because their stay in Central Sulawesi was without a sponsor, he said.

The three Chinese nationals were identified as Li Jianshun, Sihua Qin, and Zhang Guang Wu. (*)
