Fahrurozi said the team had also coordinated with the Cirebon Immigration Office and the immigration checkpoint at Kertajati Airport. The joint team conducted interviews, examined documents, and asked for information on the 16 women.
"And it was concluded that they would work as ART in the Middle East region, namely Dammam, Qatar, Riyadh, Jeddah. Furthermore, the team and 16 suspected non-procedural migrant workers headed to the West Java Regional Police to make a Police Report (LP)," he said.
Furthermore, he explained that the 16 victims of the non-procedural placement will be temporarily placed in the West Java BP2MI shelter for further information collection by the labor control team before being sent back to their area of origin.
The Ministry of Manpower deeply regrets and is concerned about the practices of placing migrant workers, especially to the Middle East, non-procedurally continuing. This must be prevented and eradicated to its roots because it harms all parties, both prospective migrant workers themselves and their families, even harms the country's reputation," he said.
The government will take action against anyone involved in the placement of non-procedural workers, because it has great potential to violate human rights and has great potential for criminal acts of people (TPPO).
"So it is important to take firm action and severe law against anyone involved in the process of placing migrant workers non-procedurally," he said.
