Myanmar Nationals Deported From Malaysia, Despite Outcry From Rights Groups

Myanmar vessel UMS Moattama, which was sent to return Myanmar migrants from Malaysia, is seen docked at a jetty outside Kuala Lumpur on Monday.

Malaysian immigration officials defied a court ordered stay, loaded the migrants onto three navy ships sent by Myanmar’s military government to return them.
