Ulemas protest redlight district

BEKASI (JP): Residents of the Cibitung district, including ulemas, have urged the district chief to close down the prostitution complex in the area.

The ulemas complained yesterday that Cibitung has gradually changed into a red light district.

The shops in the area employ attendants who are really 'working girls', the residents said.

One shop in the area has turned into a discotheque and the former shop attendants have become prostitutes, they complained.

Chief of the Cibitung district responded to the protest by ordering the shop owner to move the discotheque from the area before Nov. 15.

"We will close down the discotheque down if it is still operating on Nov. 15. (12/05)
