n Afghan immigrant, identified as KH, 21, has been sexually harassed by two men, one of whom was an angkot (public minivan) driver, in Pekanbaru, Riau.
The victim was dumped by the men near Panoraman housing complex in Limbungan subdistrict, Rumbai Pesisir district, after being sexually harassed on July 23. She then reported the case to the Rumbai Police station.
Pekanbaru Deputy Mayor Firdaus regretted the incident as the case could spoil the name of the city as well as the country.
'Immigrants are neglected people in their country. They are not detainees here. We should protect them,' Firdaus was quoted by Antara news agency as saying on Tuesday. He urged the police to investigate the case and find the perpetrators quickly.
