Why is Malaysia sending 269 Rohingya people, including 49 children, back to the sea and potentially to their deaths? This is not a game of ping-pong. This is a matter of life and death. #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM

When the boat arrived, media reported that 1 dead body was found and many were too weak to even walk. Sending boats back out to sea means sending people to death, abuse, and starvation. #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM

In 2015 Malaysia also pushed back overcrowded boats carrying Rohingya people. Many were fleeing death and violence in Myanmar, only to endure shocking conditions at sea as detailed in this Amnesty report: amnesty.org/download/Docum… @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM

Safety for Msians should not mean death, abuse & starvation for Rohingya ppl seeking safety. Msia should immediately halt plans to send 49 children & 220 adults back to sea, & instead protect ppl from human trafficking #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60
