BADUNG - Two foreign nationals involved in legal cases were deported from Bali. The two Caucasians are LC (54) a foreigner from Denmark, an ex-convict of a blasphemy case and OP (54) from Germany, who have caused trouble in the Gianyar area, Bali.

The head of the Bali Ministry of Law and Human Rights Office, Jamaruli Manihuruk, said that LC was deported for violating Article 75 Paragraph (1) of the Law, Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration in conjunction with Article 156 letter a of the Criminal Code on blasphemy.

"Meanwhile, OP was deported for violating Article 75 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration," said Jamaruli, in Denpasar, Bali, Friday, April 22.

"Immigration has the authority to take immigration administrative actions against foreigners who are in the territory of Indonesia who carry out dangerous activities and are reasonably suspected of endangering security and public order or not respecting or disobeying the laws and regulations," said Jamaruli.

LC was deported because he was proven to have committed a crime and had finished serving his sentence. While the OP is proven to have violated the immigration rules.

Bule LC was sentenced to 7 months in prison for blasphemy by destroying the Penunggun Karang or Jro Gede prayer place in Buleleng.

Meanwhile, the Caucasian OP in February 2022 caused trouble by carrying a sharp weapon in a public area when he was abandoned in Gianyar Bali.

"The LC and OP who have been deported will be proposed on the deterrence list to the Directorate General of Immigration. After we report the deportation, a decision on further deterrence will be made by the Directorate General of Immigration by looking at and considering all cases," said Jamaruli.
