JAKARTA: The Jakarta Police will enhance monitoring of small hotels to curb cases of people smuggling, an official said Tuesday.
Foreigner monitoring force head Adj. Sr. Comr. Mulya Nugraha said the police had in 2009 recorded 95 illegal foreigners in the city, most of them from the Middle East.
"We netted them at places they frequented, including small hotels," he said as quoted by vivanews.com.
The foreigners, some from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, are mostly asylum seekers, he added. - JP
