"The verification of the immigrants and the transfer reports had been completed, and now they are being sent to the detention center because they will find more comfortable living facilities," Head of the Dumai Immigration Control and Action Division Yusuf Rinjani said on Friday.
He said the political asylum seeking immigrants had been caught and arrested when they were on a motorized boat in the Dumai waters.
The illegal immigrants were later subjected to several days of verification at the Dumai water police headquarters.
He said it was impossible to hold the foreign prisoners too long at the Dumai immigration office, because such prisoners are normally ordinary cases.(IGT)
