印度尼西亚移民当局以违反移民法和组织非法活动为由,禁止两名荷兰籍男子进入该国[1]。这两人分别为35岁和37岁[1],他们组织的跑步俱乐部Entourage Bali被指控歧视当地印度尼西亚人,优先接纳外国籍成员[1]。两名荷兰人已前往新加坡[1]。
印度尼西亚移民官员Hendarsam Marantoko表示:"不应该有一个国中之国"[1]。对于有关俱乐部歧视的指控,Entourage Bali辩称印度尼西亚人占其票券销售的近25%,是参与者中最大的群体[1]。该俱乐部计划在7月22日举办的跑步活动引发了此次歧视指控[1]。巴厘岛州长I Wayan Koster誓言采取"严厉行动"防止类似事件再次发生[1]。
Indonesian immigration authorities have barred two Dutch men from entering the country on grounds of violating immigration law and organizing illegal activities [1]. The expats, aged 35 and 37, had organized a running club called Entourage Bali, which faced accusations of discriminating against local Indonesians by prioritizing foreign participants [1]. The two men have since relocated to Singapore [1].
The controversy centered on a scheduled running event planned for July 22 [1]. Immigration official Hendarsam Marantoko stated: "There should not be a state within a state" [1]. Bali Governor I Wayan Koster pledged to take "strict action" to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future [1].
In response to the discrimination allegations, Entourage Bali contested the characterization, asserting that Indonesians accounted for nearly 25 percent of ticket holders and represented the club's largest participant group [1]. The club had previously hosted a successful "disco run" event in May [1].
