Red light district reopens

PALU, Central Sulawesi: A red light district, closed down by
the authorities nearly three years ago, has quietly reopened for
business.

Antara reported on Saturday that there were at least 50
prostitutes working in brothels that openly offered sexual
services in the Tondo subdistrict.

Several residents have complained about the presence of
brothels in the area, which began to open again in April.

The municipality closed down the brothels in Tondo in October
1998, displacing about 800 prostitutes. (04)
