T
he Indonesian Consulate General in Chicago, the United States, has offered assistance to Indonesian actress-singer Tiga Setia Gara after she pleaded for help on her Instagram account @tigawat.
Tiga alleged on Instagram on Monday morning Indonesian time that she was hiding from her American husband, who she said had abused her during their one year of marriage.
“In September 2019, the Consulate General in Chicago received a report of [alleged] domestic abuse against an Indonesian citizen identified as TSG at the hands of her American husband. It followed up on the report on the same day by contacting TSG,” the Foreign Ministry’s director for the protection of Indonesian citizens and legal entities abroad, Yudha Nugraha, said in a release made available to The Jakarta Post on Monday.
Yudha said the Consulate General had given the woman advice on the legal process in the US, and that the Consulate General was ready to provide legal counsel. He added that the Consulate General was coordinating with US authorities to ensure Tiga’s protection.
Tiga shared her story on Instagram from a hotel in Ohio where she was hiding. In tears, she explained how she endured the perils of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband.
