Malaysian Police, Immigration and other enforcement authorities have been jointly conducting operations against illegal migrants at many places in the country for a few days now.
The joint authorities also launched crackdowns on the refugees queuing up before UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) Office in Kuala Lumpur and subsequently arrested many of them respectively on February 4 and 5, which left many in shock. Among the Refugees arrested, most of them were from Myanmar including Rohingya and Chin Refugees.
“They nabbed everyone lined up to enter UNHCR Office. After verification, the Refugees with UNHCR Cards were released. Those without UNHCR Cards, with Asylum Seeking Documents and expired UNHCR cards (and went to the office for renewing cards) were arrested.
They also demanded UNHCR authorities to hand over the Refugees waiting within the office premise for different refugee issues. However, UNHCR didn’t do that. (Courtesy of Rohingya Vision TV)
