Police in Maldives’ capital Male' City have arrested 13 individuals for prostitution, targeting a human trafficking network based on intelligence information.
The joint operation involved the police, Anti-Human Trafficking Department, Intelligence, and Immigration.
Among those arrested are eight Bangladeshi men, a Bangladeshi woman, and four Thai women.
Prostitution has been a prevalent issue in Male', and police have faced criticism for their perceived inaction. However, they have been periodically conducting operations and making arrests.
To address the issue, a new regulation has been enacted to enhance monitoring of massage establishments where prostitution has become widespread, according to a Maldivian native Dhivehi language report by local media outlet Mihaaru.
