CAT/C/IDN/CO/2 page 8 make public a joint ministerial decree that will criminalize the activities of the Ahmadiyah. The Committee notes with concern the report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, which refers to the State party’s intention to prohibit Ahmadiyah activities (E/CN.4/2006/5/Add.1, para. 163); it reiterates the Special Rapporteur’s view that “there is no excuse for the use of violence against its members”. The Committee is especially concerned that State party officials who may authorize a decree banning the Ahmadiyah, thereby putting members of that community at further risk of ill-treatment and physical abuse, also express the view that the Ahmadiyah must refrain from “provoking” members of the community, in effect blaming the group at risk (arts. 2, 12 and 16). Recalling the Committee’s general comment No. 2 (CAT/C/GC/2, para. 21), the State party should ensure the protection of members of groups especially at risk of ill-treatment, by prosecuting and punishing all acts of violence and abuses against those individuals and ensuring implementation of positive measures of prevention and protection. The State party should ensure prompt, impartial and effective investigations into all ethnically motivated violence and discrimination, including acts directed against persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities, and prosecute and punish perpetrators with penalties appropriate to the nature of those acts. The State party should also publicly condemn hate speech and crimes and other violent acts of racial discrimination and related violence and should work to eradicate incitement and any role public officials or law enforcement personnel might have in consenting or acquiescing in such violence. It should ensure that officials are held accountable for action or inaction that breaches the Convention. The State party should give prompt consideration to expanding the recruitment of persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities into law enforcement, and to respond favourably to the request of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion to visit the country. Trafficking and violence against migrant workers 20. While noting the adoption of Law No. 21/2007 on trafficking in persons, the Committee remains concerned at the high estimates by the State party of victims of trafficking, as compared to the limited number of investigations of such cases, and at the absence of information on prosecutions and convictions. The Committee is also concerned at reported cases of ill-treatment of migrant workers, especially women, reportedly abused by Indonesian recruiting companies, which often place them in situations that impair the enjoyment of their human rights while abroad, including debt bondage, forced labour and other ill-treatment, including sexual abuse (art. 16). The State party should take all necessary measures to implement the current laws combating trafficking and provide protection for victims and their access to medical, social rehabilitative and legal services, including counselling services, as appropriate. The State party should also create adequate conditions for victims to exercise their
