Myanmar's asylum seekers in Malaysia face uncertain deportation to military regime

Thousands of migrants and asylum seekers who left Myanmar for better opportunities in Malaysia are facing uncertain deportation.

If deported, religious and ethnic minorities would return to the persecution in Myanmar that they fled.
