LUMUT - Malaysia began repatriating around 1,500 Myanmar nationals on Tuesday, launching the first phase of a return programme that has raised concerns from rights groups.The group is the first of 5,000 Myanmar nationals Malaysia says have agreed to "voluntary" repatriation from detention centres.Dozens of buses arrived under police escort at the Majlis Perbandaran Manjung stadium near the Lumut naval base in northwestern Malaysia, AFP correspondents saw.Reporters were not allowed inside the grounds.The migrants were expected to be processed before being transported to the nearby naval base and taken to Myanmar by ship.It was not immediately clear on Tuesday how many in the group were Rohingya, and Malaysian authorities did not divulge the number.But the persecuted Muslim minority make up two-thirds of the 190,000 Myanmar refugees and asylum seekers in the country, according to the United Nations.Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced in July that Myanmar had agreed to take back 5,000 members of the Rohingya, in a rare repatriation push that has prompted concern from rights groups.The repatriation plan was announced after authorities detained more than 100 Rohingya who had gathered outside the UN refugee agency's office in Kuala Lumpur.The refugees were seeking help after being threatened with eviction from an informal settlement in northern Penang state.They were later released after officials confirmed they held valid UN documentation.Myanmar earlier this month pledged "safe and dignified" returns for its citizens displaced abroad, after criticism from the United Nations and rights groups.Anwar also said he would invite Myanmar's coup leader-turned-civilian president Min Aung Hlaing for an official visit to help expedite the repatriation process.Malaysia, which shelters one of Southeast Asia's biggest refugee populations, is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and does not formally recognise refugee status.AFP fact-checkers have found that Rohingya refugees in Malaysia have been targeted by online disinformation campaigns that rights advocates say are fuelling xenophobia and intimidation.Many of the Rohingya, a mostly Muslim group, escaped Myanmar during a brutal military crackdown in 2017

Around 1,500 nationals will be repatriated today, the first group of about 5,000 that have reportedly agreed to return to Myanmar.

NEW YORK - Malaysia, which hosts a large Rohingya refugee population, has pressed the international community to shoulder greater responsibility for the protracted crisis in Myanmar, saying any credible solution must address its root causes and pave the way for their safe return to their places of origin.Malaysias Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said a sustainable solution to the Rohingya issue must address its root causes, including citizenship status, while creating conditions for their safe, voluntary and dignified return to Rakhine State."Greater international burden and responsibility sharing is urgently needed to support countries hosting Rohingya refugees, he said in his intervention at the OIC Annual Coordination Meeting of Foreign Ministers at the United Nations headquarters here on Thursday.Alongside efforts to find a sustainable solution, Mohamad said Malaysia remained committed to accountability for human rights violations and supported The Gambias case against Myanmar before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).He said Malaysia was also actively contributing to the OIC Fund for Rohingya and strongly encouraged other OIC member states to contribute generously.Turning to Afghanistan, Mohamad said Malaysia remained committed to supporting humanitarian and socioeconomic development as well as practical initiatives in the country.He said Global Peace Mission (GPM) Malaysia signed a memorandum of understanding with the OIC Kabul Mission on Aug 10 this year to implement the "Enhancing Girls Education in Afghanistan initiative

YANGON: Myanmars coup leader turned civilian president Min Aung Hlaing said in an interview published Wednesday he has been extremely lenient on Aung San Suu Kyi, who he ousted and jailed in 2021.

SHAH ALAM Hate against the Rohingya community on social media may not always be organic, with some hostility allegedly being manufactured or amplified to turn refugees into a political bogeyman, said Rohingya activist Yasmin Ullah.The Rohingya Maiyafuinor Collaborative Network executive director said political actors could exploit fears surrounding refugees by portraying them as a threat and positioning themselves as protectors of the local population.Speaking on a local podcast titled 'Why Are the Rohingya Still in Malaysia?', she said she had observed similar dynamics during elections in Indonesia, where the Rohingya were allegedly used as an unknown group that could be blamed for wider concerns.That is my theory, and its playing out again here. It was playing out in the Indonesian election and a lot of political parties were using the Rohingya as a bogeyman, portraying them as an unfamiliar or unknown group, she said.Yasmin said misinformation targeting the Rohingya could also be difficult for local communities to challenge because of language barriers.She cited claims circulating online that Rohingya were not real Muslims because they could not recite the shahada as an example of misinformation directed at the community.Yasmin also referred to monitoring by Indonesian digital rights organisation Safenet, saying it had examined the traffic surrounding some hate-speech posts.Safenet, another human rights organisation that does a lot of digital literacy and monitoring of human rights violations online, was actually talking about how the traffic of these posts was not quite human, but most of this content was being pushed out at 2 or 3am in the morning, she said.She said the findings raised questions about whether some of the content could have been coordinated, although she stressed that those behind it were not known.The discussion also examined a possible link between developments involving the Rohingya at international courts and periods when the issue appeared to receive renewed attention on Malaysian social media.In 2019, the Rohingya crisis became the subject of two separate international legal proceedings.At the International Criminal Court (ICC), Pre-Trial Chamber III authorised the Prosecutor on Nov 14, 2019 to commence an investigation into the situation in Bangladesh and Myanmar.The investigation covers crimes within the Courts jurisdiction, including alleged crimes against humanity such as deportation and persecution of the Rohingya, where at least part of the alleged conduct occurred on the territory of Bangladesh, an ICC member state.Separately, The Gambia filed proceedings against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) under the Genocide Convention, alleging that Myanmar had breached its obligations under the convention in relation to the Rohingya.In January 2020, the ICJ ordered provisional measures requiring Myanmar to take measures to prevent acts falling within the scope of the Genocide Convention against the Rohingya and to preserve evidence related to the allegations.In July 2022, the Court rejected Myanmars preliminary objections and found that it had jurisdiction to hear the case and that The Gambias application was admissible.During the discussion, the host pointed to what he described as a pattern in which discussion of the Rohingya appeared to intensify on Malaysian social media months after developments in the international proceedings.Yasmin said she did not believe the hostility was necessarily coincidental.She argued that political actors could securitise the Rohingya issue by presenting the community as a threat requiring stronger action, particularly around elections or major political developments.When it comes to international court cases or general elections, politicians tend to securitise the Rohingya issue because they want to be seen as the hero, she said.Yasmin said such narratives could create a need for a group to be portrayed as a threat, allowing politicians to position themselves as protectors.She compared the pattern with political rhetoric targeting migrants elsewhere, including in the United States, while stressing that the consequences could be particularly serious when directed at already marginalised communities.Its also playing out here, perhaps in a more sinister way, because it is targeting some of the most marginalised groups in society, not just the Rohingya, she said.Yasmin added that the possible connection between developments in international court proceedings and spikes in online discussion was something she had not previously considered in depth.The discussion also took place against the backdrop of heightened debate over migrants and refugees in Malaysia during the Covid-19 pandemic.In 2020, Malaysian authorities conducted raids and detained undocumented migrants as part of enforcement operations during the pandemic.Al Jazeeras 101 East documentary, Locked Up in Malaysias Lockdown, aired on July 3, 2020 and examined the treatment of undocumented migrant workers during the lockdown.The documentary featured Bangladeshi migrant worker Mohamed Rayhan Kabir, who criticised the treatment of undocumented migrants.Kabir was arrested on July 24, 2020, while the Immigration Department later announced that his work permit had been revoked and that he would be deported and blacklisted from returning to Malaysia.He was deported to Bangladesh on Aug 21, according to Human Rights Watch, which described his arrest as retaliation for his criticism of the governments treatment of migrant workers

ALOR SETAR - Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) mempertahankan pendirian Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dalam menangani isu Rohingya dengan menegaskan usaha mencari penyelesaian jangka panjang terhadap krisis itu tidak boleh disifatkan sebagai tindakan menindas golongan pelarian berkenaan.Naib Ketua AMK, Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari berkata, kerajaan perlu mengimbangi tuntutan kemanusiaan dengan tanggungjawab menjaga kedaulatan, keselamatan dan kestabilan negara.Menurutnya, dakwaan bahawa Anwar kini beralih daripada pendirian asal yang mempertahankan etnik Rohingya adalah tidak tepat kerana Presiden PKR itu sejak sekian lama konsisten memperjuangkan hak masyarakat berkenaan yang menjadi mangsa penindasan rejim Myanmar."AMK menolak naratif bahawa Perdana Menteri menyalahkan pentadbiran terdahulu sekadar untuk meraih modal politik
