Last week, Bengkulu Police arrested 46 Australia-bound Afghan people and the alleged broker. The police also named two suspects who had allegedly helped arrange the Afghan people’s departure to Australia.
“They chose Bengkulu because the town is safer and closer to Christmas Island in Australia,” Bengkulu police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Agung Setya said as quoted by kompas.com.
The government is detaining the Afghan people at Bengkulu Immigration Office, pending a decision whether or not to deport them back to Afghanistan. (ewd)
