UN urges safeguards after Malaysia returns refugees to Myanmar
Original: Malaysia: UN agency urges safeguards after refugees returned to Myanmar
A United Nations agency is calling for safeguards after refugees were returned from Malaysia to Myanmar. The agency urged Malaysian authorities to ensure that people in need of international protection are not sent back to a country facing ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. The returns have drawn concern from rights advocates watching how the region handles Rohingya and other Myanmar refugees.
Why now: The forced return of refugees to conflict-affected Myanmar has raised fresh concerns about protection standards in Malaysia.
