Migrant workers flee labor agency

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Six women from East Nusa Tenggara
province seeking work in Medan left a labor recruitment agency in
the city, fearing that they might be sold into prostitution, a
police officer said on Friday.

They are now in safe hands, said chief of Medan Police
detectives First. Insp. M. Taufik.

Hesti, one of the women, said that they had stayed in the
office of the labor recruitment agency for a month without any
news of employment in Malaysia. -- JP
