YOGYAKARTA: As many as 41 senior prosecutors from 14 provinces
attended a five-day seminar in Yogyakarta on human trafficking,
prostitution and child sexual exploitation.

The seminar was aimed at helping the prosecutors better
understand these types of cases and make the best use of existing
laws to jail traffickers and ensure legal protection for victims.

The seminar, which was held with the support of the French
government and the U.S. Department of Justice, was officially
closed on Friday.

Also participating in the seminar were experts from France and
the U.S., who explained the American and French legal models and
best practices, and police officers from the Royal Malaysian
Police to share their experiences in handling such cases
successfully. -- JP
