T

he Immigration Office in Palu, Central Sulawesi, has arrested seven Chinese nationals at two different locations, with five having no valid documents for their stay in Indonesia, and two allegedly working illegally in the province, Antara reported on Tuesday.

'€œThey were arrested in two difference places '€“ five at a gold mining site in Poboya village, East Palu district, and two in Buluri village, Ulujadi district,'€ said an immigration official in Palu on Tuesday speaking on the condition of anonymity.
