(Central News Agency reporter Huang Li-yun, Taipei, 6th) Reports indicate that a migrant worker was selling abortion drugs on the online black market and mediating abortions for other migrant workers at rudimentary clinics, even using logistics to handle infant remains. In response, the Immigration Agency stated today that it has identified one foreign national legally residing in Taiwan for investigation and is continuously clarifying relevant evidence.
According to a report by Weekly Wang, an Indonesian migrant worker who has been in Taiwan for 12 years was selling a large quantity of abortion drugs on the online black market. She also mediated abortions for other migrant workers at rudimentary clinics, and some migrant workers even sent aborted fetuses to her via cargo for disposal, with her ultimately discarding the infant remains as trash, a cold-blooded act that is outrageous.
The Immigration Agency issued a press release this afternoon stating that it has grasped information on this case and has initially identified one foreign national legally residing in Taiwan as a target for investigation, and is continuously clarifying relevant evidence.
In addition, this case is suspected of involving illegal sale of drugs and illegal medical practices, which fall under the jurisdiction of the competent authorities for the Medical Practitioners Act and Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. The Immigration Agency has cooperated with local health authorities to investigate and handle the matter according to law, and will not tolerate any illegal activities found.
The Immigration Agency urges the public not to obtain drugs from unknown sources or accept illegal medical practices to protect their own health and safety. (Editor: Hsiao Po-wen) 1150506
