SEMARANG - The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, immediately responded to reports from residents regarding the alleged confinement of 54 Indonesian citizens (WNI) in Cambodia. Although only through social media, Ganjar ordered the Central Java Manpower and Transmigration Office to check.

Initially, a netizen with the account @angelinahui97 reported that 54 Indonesian citizens were being held captive in Cambodia. Through that post, he asked Ganjar for help immediately.

"Immediately check @nakertrans.provjateng," Ganjar ordered.

The order was immediately followed up by the Department of Manpower and Transmigration of Central Java Province. The report was immediately checked and followed up with the relevant parties.

"We immediately followed up on the report and received information from an Indonesian citizen on behalf of Mohammad Effendy. He represents 54 Indonesian citizens who work in Cambodia who are suspected of having experienced labor placement fraud and suspected human trafficking (TPPO)," said the Head of the Central Java Province Manpower and Transmigration Office, Sakina Rosellasari, Thursday, July 28, in an official statement from the Central Java Provincial Government.

The Indonesian citizens in Cambodia, continued Sakina, were promised as operators, call centers and finance officers. However, the placement location is not in accordance with the agreement.

"The mode of departure is unprocedural by using an individual agency with each Indonesian citizen departing with a different agency. According to information from the person concerned, it is possible to trade in the next three days," he explained.

His party has also made efforts by coordinating with the Directorate for Protection of Indonesian Citizens of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) and the Directorate for Protection of PMIs.

"We continue to monitor the development of this case and hope there will be the best developments soon," he explained.

Currently, Sakina continued, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Cambodia are working on this issue, and the case is being investigated in collaboration with local authorities. And if there is an official report, there will be further information from the Indonesian Embassy in Cambodia.

"The Indonesian Embassy in Cambodia also said that it has received a complaint regarding the alleged confinement of the Indonesian citizen. The Indonesian Embassy has also coordinated with the Cambodian Police for the process of his release," concluded Sakina.
