The Aporia · Rohingya activist says it’s unfair to send refugees back to Myanmar

Rohingya rights activist Nur Sadek criticizes the Malaysian government's decision to repatriate Rohingya refugees back to Myanmar, describing it as "very unfair." Nearly 1,500 Myanmar migrants, including Rohingya, have already been sent back under Malaysia’s plan to return 5,000 total migrants. The United Nations and human rights organizations argue that conditions in Myanmar make the situation unsafe for these refugees.

Story summary

Malaysia began repatriating 1,476 Myanmar nationals, including Rohingya refugees, on Tuesday, despite warnings from the United Nations and human rights groups that returning them to war-torn Myanmar is unsafe. The operation involves 5,000 people in total who are described by Kuala Lumpur as having agreed to "voluntary" repatriation from Malaysian detention centers. However, critics argue this may not be voluntary due to poor conditions and fear of violence at home. Buses carrying the migrants arrived under police escort at a stadium near the Lumut naval base before being transported to three Myanmar navy ships docked nearby for their return voyage.

Rights groups have expressed deep concern over potential persecution and forced conscription in Myanmar, particularly given the country's ongoing civil war since 2021. Approximately two-thirds of the roughly 190,000 Myanmar refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia are Rohingya Muslims who fled a brutal military crackdown in 2017. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim defended the decision as a response to public hostility towards the large Rohingya population but faced criticism for violating international refugee law by sending people back into danger.
