36 Rohingya refugees resettled in the US

One year after landing in Malaysia, following a harrowing ordeal in the Bay of Bengal, 36 Rohingya refugees have been resettled in the United States.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said that the 36 refugees departed Malaysia early Thursday morning under its resettlement programme.

The refugees had been released from the Belantik Immigration Detention Centre the previous afternoon. (Courtesy of thestar.com.my)
