Middle East: Saudis arrest five Indonesian Haj 'sex workers'

Mecca, 21 Sept. (AKI/Jakarta Post) - The Saudi Arabia Prosecution and Investigation Commission (PIC) has arrested 11 foreigners, including five Indonesians, on their alleged involvement in prostitution in Al-Khansa, Mecca, during the Hajj and Umrah periods.

“[The 11 suspects] were arrested after being followed for several days,” a local official said.


The other six are all men from Bangladesh.



Mecca Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Zaki Al-Rihaili said all 11 suspects would be sent to Al-Maabdah Police before being sent to the PIC for investigation and then to court.



Police said the prostitutes had worked with security guards who were paid SR 200 per night for their discretion.
