Jakarta - A ferry capsized in the strait between the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java on Friday and TV video showed passengers standing on its side, then jumping into the sea as it sank in placid waters. Officials said 71 people were rescued and at least four were still missing.

Didi Hamzar, head of Bali's Search and Rescue Agency, said the ship's manifest listed 51 people on board including 14 crew. Passenger boats are frequently overloaded beyond their manifests in Indonesia.

Video broadcast by TVOne showed other ships in the background as the ferry, Rafelia 2, sank in the narrow Bali Strait. It languished on its side before capsizing.

Boats are a popular and relatively cheap form of transportation in the world's largest archipelago nation, which spans more than 17 000 islands with a population of 256 million. Sea accidents are common, with safety regulations often poorly enforced.

The ferry was travelling from Gilimanuk port in Bali to Banyuwangi on Java. The cause of the accident was under investigation.

Local navy chief Lieutenant Colonel Wahyu Endriawan said 71 people were rescued.

"We cannot yet know whether some were trapped inside the ship which has totally submerged," he told MetroTV.

Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho also said 71 people were rescued while four others - the captain, a deck officer, and a woman and child - were still missing.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's transportation ministry will revoke the operating licence of a ferry company whose vessel sunk in the Bali Strait on Friday, killing five of the 81 people on board including a mother and her infant child.

Indonesia relies heavily on ferry services to connect the main islands in the archipelago, the world's largest. But accidents are common, largely due to years of under-investment in infrastructure and a tendency to overload ferries.

The Rafelia II ferry was serving the popular crossing between Banyuwangi on the eastern tip of Java Island and Gilimanuk on the tourist resort island of Bali, when it sank just after 1 p.m. on Friday, around 1 km from the Java shore, domestic media reports said.

"Starting on Monday the operating licence ... will be revoked," Transportation Ministry spokesman J.A. Barata told Reuters on Sunday, referring to ferry operator PT Darma Bahari Utama, which only had a licence for one vessel.

Barata said investigators from the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) and transportation ministry officials were looking into the cause. At the time it capsized the vessel was carrying dozens of heavy trucks, Barata said.

Under Indonesian law, the company would be required to salvage the sunken vessel, he said.

According to National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) chief Bambang Soelistyo, all who were travelling on the Rafelia II at the time it sunk were now accounted for.

"We have evacuated 81 victims and they match with the number of passengers in the manifest," Soelistyo said.

Those who died had become trapped in the sinking ferry, he said.

Female military recruits and the fiancees of military officers in Indonesia should not have to undergo "harmful and humiliating" virginity tests, Human Rights Watch said.

"The Indonesian armed forces should recognize that harmful and humiliating 'virginity tests' on women recruits does nothing to strengthen national security.

President Joko Widodo should set the military straight and immediately abolish the requirement and prevent all military hospitals from administering it."

For decades, Indonesia has required female military recruits and the future wives of male military officers to undergo the so-called "two-finger" virginity test as part of an overall medical evaluation.

The test is used to determine if a woman's hymen is intact, though the HRW says the test is scientifically baseless because a hymen can be torn due to reasons unrelated to sex.

Female soldiers and military officers' wives interviewed by the HRW called the process humiliating.

"What shocked me was finding out that the doctor who was to perform the test was a man," said one recruit who underwent a virginity test in 2013. "I had mixed feelings. I felt humiliated. It was very tense. It's all mixed up. I hope the future medical examination excludes virginity test. It's against the rights of every woman."
