Cilacap, C Java (Antara Bali)- The Indonesian immigration authorities will deport an Australian female journalist for failing to present official documents necessary to cover the preparations for the executions of the drug offenders on Nusakambangan Island, Cilacap, Central Java.
"Our task is to monitor foreigners operating in Indonesia. Based on information, there is a foreigner carrying out journalistic activities in Cilacap," Welly Wiguna of the Immigration Directorate General stated here on Friday.
The Cilacap immigration officers have checked the travel documents of the Australian woman and found that she did not have a journalist visa nor had she obtained the required recommendation documents from the foreign affairs ministry, he noted. "Therefore, we will deport her today," he added.
The Australian journalist is Candace Sutton who works for Daily Mail Australia. She was in Cilacap to cover the preparations for the planned executions of the 10 people, who are on death row for drug offenses.
Earlier, the Cilacap immigration authorities deported two journalists: Gomes Marcio of Brazil and Geovanne Percy Siama Guerrero of Peru for conducting journalistic activities while only having ordinary tourist visas.
Indonesian Attorney General HM Prasetyo recently noted that the preparations for executing ten other prisoners on death row are 90 percent complete, and there will be no cancellations of the executions. (WDY)
