Illegal immigrants and domestic workers are among sex workers recently arrested by the police in a crack down on 25 prostitution dens which disguise themselves as massage parlors. This included masterminds of a prostitution ring and sex workers. But many illegal premises resumed activities soon after the police crackdown, and tried to disguise themselves as massage parlors. Some of the arrested entered Hong Kong illegally via sea routes, while some claimed to be domestic helpers. As many of the sex workers entered HK illegally, their activities threaten anti-epidemic work by health authorities.
