Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro revealed that as many as 25 Indonesian citizens (WNI) who are victims of criminal acts of trafficking in persons (TPPO) in Myanmar will be repatriated from Bangkok, Thailand, to Indonesia next week.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that on May 23, they would be returned to the country," Djuhadhani said at a press conference at Bareskrim Polri, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 16.
Djuhandhani said that the number of Indonesian citizens who were victims of TIP to Myanmar was not 20 people but 25 people. Five other people managed to escape from Myanmar and were accommodated at the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Thailand.
"We conveyed that from the previous 20 Indonesian citizens, five had fled from Myanmar, so there were 25 people," he said.
In this case, the Dittipidum Bareskrim Polri has arrested two perpetrators who dispatched 25 Indonesian citizens who were being held captive in Myanmar. The two suspects are Anita Setia Dewi and Andri Satria Nugraha.
Of the 25 victims of the TIP, 16 were recruited by suspects Andri and Anita. Meanwhile, nine other victims were recruited by other perpetrators who are still being chased on behalf of the initials ER.
"Of the 25 that we stated that 16 were recruited by Anita, then we have recorded nine on behalf of ER (perpetrators)," said Djuhandhani.
Meanwhile, at the press conference, the Coordinator of the Protocol and Consular Function of the Indonesian Embassy in Bangkok, Dewi Lestari, was also present on a zoom basis from Bangkok, Thailand.
