‘They are crying’: Refugees in Malaysia in fear amid Myanmar deportation

The Malaysian government deported nearly 1,500 Myanmar refugees as part of a plan to send back at least 5,000 refugees following an agreement with Myanmar's military government. This occurred amid escalating raids on refugee communities, with over 50,000 refugees detained this year. Raf, a refugee leader, states that daily raids have increased significantly, causing widespread fear among the more than 215,000 refugees living in Malaysia. Many refugees are worried about who might be deported next.
