Afghan Refugee Commits Suicide In Indonesia
Several sources in Indonesia confirmed that an Afghan refugee committed suicide in the "Tanjung Pinang" city of this country.
They said that the 27-year-old hanged himself in his room on Sunday evening "due to mental stress from a difficult life in Indonesia".
A source said, "Indonesian police have requested 30 million Indonesian rupiah to transport the body of the man to Jakarta. Consequently, the Afghan refugees have been unable to retrieve the body from the hospital so far."
The sources said that the family members of this young man are in Australia and have paid 12,000 dollars to an Australian company to transfer his body to Jakarta.
Earlier, several Afghan refugees in Indonesia held a protest rally in front of the United Nations office in Makassar city and demanded that their immigration cases be processed.
Afghan immigrants in Indonesia grapple with an uncertain future, separation from family, and immigration-related restrictions. The prolonged duration of this situation, spanning several years, has placed some of them under significant psychological pressure.
