Human trafficking victims to testify

JAKARTA: The National Police said on Wednesday they had
transported 10 women victims of human trafficking from their
temporary homes in Dumai, Riau, to Jakarta to serve as key
witnesses in their cases.

The 10 were among the 33 women who arrived on Tuesday in Dumai
after they were repatriated from Kuala Lumpur. At least 108 other
Indonesian workers were also deported.

The majority had faced work-related problems in the
neighboring country.

"The police will handle the cases of 33 women, while the
others will be dealt with by the Ministry of Manpower and
Transmigration," said a senior police officer. -- JP
