The mass arrests are horrifying, but they fit within a pattern of action and inaction. What is health rights for all, when harassment, arrests and detention keeps hapening? When hate speech against migrants/refugees continues continues? Speak up! #MigranJugaManusia

I received this video from an NGO worker today, who got it from a resident. The raid apparently lasted just a couple hours. Unsure how many people were arrested. pic.twitter.com/3nHqYm1u8i

ICYMI: Immigration raid at an ECMO here earlier. Activists believe children, refugees were among those detained. On Labour Day, in the middle of Ramadan, this is how #Malaysia treats the most vulnerable among us.https://t.co/L2wtDh1kCg

This increased xenophobia has been brewing for weeks. An earlier piece I wrote on Rohingya refugees questions the lack of empathy from some quarters:https://t.co/s7pzrPQtTf

Just got back from the Selangor Mansion area. What the actual fuck is going on?

Residents are telling me that they were not given masks – those who were turfed out were wearing their own. Videos sent through WhatsApp show social distancing is not being practiced. People packed into immigration trucks, handcuffed.

This is ridiculous. Hours after the announcement on relaxed measures the authorities start arresting people left and right – Malaysia has not *beaten* Covid-19 yet. Now migrant workers + refugees + other vulnerable groups will go to ground and not come forward even if ill.
