ACEH - The Class II Immigration Office, Non-Checkpoint Immigration (TPI) in Meulaboh, West Aceh, deported Sebastian Alexander Husemann (47), a foreign national from Germany, via Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, Aceh Besar.
"We are returning this foreign national to his country of origin because his activities violated public order while on Simeulue Island, Aceh," said the Head of the Meulaboh Immigration Office, Jamaluddin, to Antara on Monday, November 10.
Husemann was returned to Germany on AirAsia with a transit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In addition to deportation, he was also given a travel ban, preventing him from returning to Indonesia.
According to Jamaluddin, this action is in accordance with Article 75 paragraph (1) of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration, as amended by Law Number 63 of 2024. This provision authorizes immigration officials to take administrative action against foreigners who engage in dangerous activities, violate public order, or disobey Indonesian regulations.
This deportation was also based on a letter from the Deputy Regent of Simeulue, No. 200.1.3.5/2555/2025, dated October 27, and a letter from the Head of Putra Jaya Village, Central Simeulue District, No. 470/270/DJP/2025, dated October 13, 2025, containing a public complaint regarding Husemann's behavior.
Based on the immigration officer's investigation, Husemann was found to have engaged in actions deemed disturbing and violating local Acehnese customs while living in the Simeulue Islands.
Jamaluddin emphasized that his office will continue to tighten supervision of the presence and activities of foreigners in West Aceh and the surrounding area.
"We hope that no more foreign nationals will violate immigration regulations and social norms while in Indonesia," he said.
