Jakarta shuts down Indonesian worker trafficking network
Indonesian police have successfully dismantled a trafficking network aimed at illegally sending Indonesian domestic workers to Libya, after false promises of employment opportunities in Turkey. The victims were informed that they would be working in Turkey, but they were trafficked to Libya instead, where they faced severe exploitation, including withheld wages, violence, confiscation of passports, and forced labor for long hours. Two suspects linked to the trafficking network have been arrested—one responsible for recruitment and the other for organizing the victims' travel—and are currently being investigated. The network faces charges that could lead to sentences ranging from three to 15 years in prison, as well as fines of up to 600 million Indonesian rupiah (approximately $33,395). Investigations indicate ongoing coordination with relevant authorities to protect victims' rights, in conjunction with international efforts to combat human trafficking and exploitation.
