"They are now being detained at the Palu immigration office for further investigation," Erna Yunanti Murni of the immigration office stated here on Tuesday.
The Chinese nationals were arrested for suspected violation of Indonesia's immigration law, she noted.
The detained workers were identified as Wang Tiejun (44), Jin Zhng Yong (33), Wu Hai too (30), Li Shen Lei (29), and Yu Long (26).
"They are all Chinese nationals," she remarked.

Their visas had expired, and they might soon be deported.
