following a pre-dawn riot, but sis living near the immigration facility said they were afraid to
leave their homes with escapees still at large.
“The detainees were everywhere, running out from the depot, and they headed to our village
before they went into the bush,” a man who gave his name as Hashim told BenarNews.
Another villager, Ahmad Husin, said they could be hiding in nearby palm oil plantations.
Earlier, “some of them came to us looking for water because they were thirsty but no one
dare to give them any because they were afraid of any untoward incident,” he told
BenarNews.
The Kedah police chief warned residents of nearby villages against helping the escapees,
saying to do so was an offense punishable by law.
‘Traumatizing’
Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and other
countries to escape persecution in Myanmar, their home country, and dire living conditions in
cramped refugee camps in Bangladesh.
Malaysia, however, does not recognize refugee status. Since 2020, the country has rounded
up thousands of refugees and housed them in crowded detention centers, in what the
authorities say are measures to contain the spread of coronavirus.
An estimated 180,000 UNHCR cardholders currently live in Malaysia, much higher than the
estimated 38,000 in 2013.
Jerald Joseph, a member of the Malaysia’s Human Rights Commission (Suhakam), called on
the country’s immigration authorities to allow representative from the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees to meet with the detainees.
“The Immigration Department has to give access to UNHCR so they can determine whether
the ones detained were really Rohingyas. If so, they should be freed like the 150,000
Rohingyas who are here in the country,” he said.
For its part, Amnesty International Malaysia demanded the government fully and
transparently investigate the events “including the desperate circumstances within Sungai
Bakap immigration detention center that led to detainees trying to escape, resulting in the loss
of six lives.”
Suhakam should investigate how many temporary immigration detention centers are in
existence across the country, Katrina Jorene Maliamauv, executive director of Amnesty
International Malaysia, said in a statement.
Yusof Ali, chairman of Kedah Rohingya Association, also appealed to the Malaysian
government “to look into the Rohingya issue detained at the Immigration Depots in the
country.”
Asked why the breakout occurred, he said, “Maybe because they have been in there far too
long. Some of them have temporary documents and UNHCR cards, but when they showed it
to the authorities, the office in charge will arrest them and allege that the document or the
card are fake.
No other countries want to accept our ethnic group. It is now up to the Malaysian
government’s discretion,” he said.
x were killed by vehicles as they tried to cross a highway, in a tragic turn of events
highlighting conditions at the country’s secretive immigrant detention centers.
Close to 400 people had been recaptured by evening, officials said, while human rights
groups called for a probe into what had provoked the unrest. They also demanded to know
how many detention centers, where immigrants are held indefinitely and incommunicado,
were operating across the country.
“I have instructed the Royal Malaysia Police and the Immigration Department to conduct a
detailed investigation of what caused them to act in such a way,” Home Minister Hamzah
Zainudin said of the escapees late Wednesday. Multiple agencies from two states were
working to track down more than 100 people still at large, he said.
“All 528 detainees who escaped were ethnic Rohingya refugees transferred from a camp in
Langkawi after being arrested for trespassing in Malaysian waters and violating the
Immigration Act in 2020,” he said. Langkawi is an island group in the Strait of Malacca, off
the coast of the northern Kedah state.
Police in Bandar Baharu, Kedah were alerted to a riot and escape at the Sungai Bakap
Temporary Immigration Depot at around 4 a.m., according to the state police chief, Wan
Hassan Wan Ahmad.
Prior to the riot, 664 people were housed there – 430 men, 97 women, and 137 children, he
said.
He told reporters that no serious injuries were reported during the riot and that its cause was
under investigation. Detainees smashed a door and fence at the depot before making a run for
it, he said, adding that the 23 security personnel on duty were quickly overwhelmed.
“Because there were so many of detainees in a cramped space, things got out of control and
the detainees took the opportunity to break out,” he told a press conference in Kedah.
“The fatal accident involving the escapees happened about six to seven kilometers from the
depot. Two men, two women, and two children (a boy, and a girl) were killed after being hit

Mohd Firdaus berkata, kumpulan berkenaan dikatakan datang bersama etnik Rohingya yang
memasuki Langkawi pada 4 Februari lepas, namun bertindak berpatah semula berikutan
bimbang ditahan.
Katanya, pihaknya kesal dengan pencerobohan masuk etnik Rohingya di perairan Langkawi,
