A New Zealand woman who reportedly disrupted a mosque prayer session being played over a loudspeaker in Indonesia could face deportation.
According to the South China Morning Post the woman disrupted a Qoran recitation night session at a musalla (a small prayer room) near her villa on Gili Trawangan due to the noise.
It said she was unfamiliar with the traditional celebrations that could last until midnight and a meeting had since been held with her to provide understanding.
However immigration officials said her tourist visa expired in January, which could be grounds for deportation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade says it’s providing consular assistance to a New Zealander in Indonesia.
