The West Nusa Tenggara Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Service Center (BP3MI) handled the repatriation process of 22 women as a result of preventing the crime of trafficking in persons (TPPO) by Polda Metro Jaya Jakarta.

"A total of 22 prospective Indonesian migrant workers (CPMI) outside the procedural TIP victims have been facilitated by the Jakarta Metro Police and today arrived in Lombok using a plane," said Head of BP3MI NTB Mangiring Hasoloan Sinaga in Mataram, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 14.

As many as 22 women who were victims of the TIP came from Central Lombok Regency as many as 13 people, West Lombok two people, Dompu two people, East Lombok three people and Mataram City two people.

They will be illegally dispatched to Saudi Arabia by an individual who is still in the process of being investigated by the Polda Metro Jaya Jakarta.

Polda Metro Jaya is preventing departures to Saudi Arabia when all of these CPMIs are still in Jakarta. Prevention efforts were carried out on June 7 and 8, 2023.

According to the man who is familiarly called Bang Naga, the CPMIs left for Jakarta not in groups, but individually. They use land and sea routes and some use domestic flights to Jakarta.

"So they go individually, not accommodated in NTB, but in Jakarta. Some have been in shelter for one month, some have been for two months," he said.

All CPMI victims of TIP will be returned to their hometowns after completing the examination report (BAP) and taking information.

BP3MI NTB also coordinates with the Regency/City Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans) for the repatriation process to their respective homes.

"Today, we will be sent back directly to their respective areas after the BAP process is complete. Later we will hand it over to the Regency/City Manpower and Transmigration Office to be given guidance," said Bang Naga.
