Rapeah, 32, said she had heard nothing from her husband since he was also arrested last month. "I'm worried about my husband. It has been two weeks and he has not returned home. Other fishermen said he was arrested by Malaysian police but I don't know which jail he is being held in," said the resident of Pangkalan Brandan district, Langkat regency. The secretary of the Indonesian Fishermen's Association in North Sumatra, Ihya Ulumuddin, said the association had tried and failed to locate the arrested fishermen. "We regret to say that the Malaysian government and Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia have not responded to our efforts to learn the fate of our missing colleagues. This is not right," he told The Jakarta Post on Friday. "We know they are being held in Malaysia but we don't know where or know anything about their condition." He said that based on previous experience, fishermen arrested by Malaysian police are released within four months. "But it has already been four months and there has been no news about the fate of the fishermen," he said
