Malaysia Deports Myanmar Refugees Despite UN Safety Warnings
Original: Malaysia Deports Myanmar Refugees, Including Children, Despite UN Safety Warnings
Malaysia has deported a group of Myanmar refugees, reportedly including children, back to Myanmar despite warnings from the United Nations that their safety could not be guaranteed there. Rights groups and UN agencies have criticised the move, saying returns could expose vulnerable people to persecution, and are urging Malaysia to halt further deportations.
Why now: The deportation raises fresh concerns over refugee protection and Malaysia's treatment of UN-recognised asylum seekers amid ongoing instability in Myanmar.
