        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that\nassistance for an Indonesian migrant worker with the initials AJ,\ncurrently in Benghazi, Libya, is ongoing. The government is paying\nspecial attention to the case because AJ departed through non-procedural\nchannels and is now requesting help to return home.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of Protection for Indonesian Citizens at the Ministry of\nForeign Affairs, Heni Hamidah, explained that AJ is still considering a\nfinal decision regarding her future in Libya. There are two options\navailable: completing the work contract or terminating it early with\ncertain consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\"If AJ still wants to continue her two-year contract, she will return\nhome normally. But if she decides to break the contract midway, she must\npay several other obligations,\" Heni said during a press conference in\nJakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Heni added that AJ\u2019s non-procedural departure status means handling\nthis case requires more intensive coordination. To date, AJ is reported\nto still be weighing whether to stay and complete the contract or choose\nto return to Indonesia sooner by fulfilling the applicable\nadministrative obligations.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the\nIndonesian Embassy in Tripoli continue to take protective measures. The\ngovernment is also coordinating with relevant parties in Libya to ensure\nAJ\u2019s rights are fulfilled and the case is resolved according to the\nlegal procedures in that country.<\/p>\n<p>The government is urging the public to always use official channels\nwhen seeking employment abroad to avoid the risk of exploitation and to\nfacilitate the protection process if problems arise in the destination\ncountry.<\/p>",
