Pencari Asaka Tinggal Di Puncak Bogor Juga Tembus Seribu Orang

BOGOR - The number of asylum seekers living in the Puncak Bogor area continues to soar. The Immigration Office of Class I Non TPI Bogor noted that the number is almost a thousand people at this time. This was discovered when the Immigration Office of Class I Non TPI Bogor held socialization of the data collection of refugees in its working area on Tuesday 8 August. Head of the Bogor Immigration Immigration and Enforcement Section, Kiven Semuel Manus said, internally the Bogor Immigration Office had collected data on asylum seekers and found only more than 100 people. However, after data collection was carried out by regional officials during the Covid-19 pandemic, it was estimated that the number of asylum seekers in Bogor City and Regency was around 800 more people. So far, Immigration parties have difficulty in reaching asylum seekers in the Bogor area. Kiven admitted that when the Immigration parties went down to the field, asylum seekers would go from the initial location that had been detected. Oleh, his party will now involve regional apparatus ranging from Babinsa, Bhabinkamtibmas, as well as village officials to record asylum seekers in the Bogor area. Why do we embrace village heads and regional officials, because those who are active daily with the Suaka searchers. So we mobilize village heads so that those who see them daily know, they (the asylum seekers) where they live, where they live, where they live, where they know,', " he continued. According to him, data collection of these asylum seekers must be done to confirm their current status. Because, if their status is finally rejected aka the application for their refugee status is closed by UNHCR and cannot appeal, they must be transferred to the detention house. For this reason, they hope for an active role of regional apparatus to assist Bogor Immigration in assisting in carrying out data collection for asylum seekers.

The data collection is carried out by using the Pasti Peka application (Residential and Searcher Data). Later the regional apparatus will direct asylum seekers in their area to fill the form in the application. "So with this application it is very useful for us and agencies outside of us, because it can be used as an observation and depiction, what potential can be produced with asylum seekers," he said.
