Amnesty International has condemned Malaysia’s recent detention of 110 Rohingya asylum seekers, including women and children. The group was apprehended Monday from a compound belonging to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kuala Lumpur. Amnesty argues the detention violates international law and principles of refugee protection. The organization emphasizes that individuals seeking asylum should not be penalized for their irregular entry or stay. Concerns are rising about the well-being of those detained and their access to due process. This incident highlights ongoing challenges faced by the Rohingya community seeking safety and refuge in Malaysia. Amnesty is calling for the immediate release of the detainees and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding their arrest.
