Malaysia begins sending home Myanmar refugees despite safety concerns

CNA4 hours ago0:55

Malaysia began sending home around 1,500 Myanmar nationals, most believed to be Rohingya refugees, on Tuesday (Sep 29) in the first phase of a repatriation programme that could see as many as 5,000 people returned. Malaysia says the programme is strictly voluntary, but the UN refugee agency and civil society groups have raised concerns about the safety of those returning to Myanmar, which remains gripped by civil war following a 2021 military coup. #malaysia #malaysianews #myanmar #rohingya Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
