Human rights advocates have called for the governments of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia to end the indefinite detention of Rohingya refugees in immigration facilities and government-operated shelters and camps.
Nearly a year after the regional refugee crisis involving Rohingya migrants made headlines across the globe, no durable solution has been found to end their plight, representatives from the non-profit organisation Fortify Rights and the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) said yesterday. They released a joint report, drawing attention to the refugees' continued lack of protection.
Those who landed safely on shore were shuffled away to immigration detention centres (IDCs) and are still being held there, said Amy Smith, executive director of Fortify Rights. (Courtesy of Bangkok Post: News)
