Malaysia Detains Over 100 Rohingya Refugees Seeking Shelter at UNHCR The arrest of over 100 Rohingya refugees seeking shelter at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kuala Lumpur has exposed a disturbing trend in Malaysia's treatment of this vulnerable community.
The crackdown, led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's government, is consistent with its tough stance on undocumented migrants.
However, what's telling is how this crackdown intersects with a broader narrative of online hate speech and misinformation targeting the Rohingya.
