Malaysia Deports 1,479 Myanmar Refugees Despite UN Warnings

Nearly 1,500 Myanmar refugees deported from Malaysia arrived in Yangon on Sunday under a repatriation scheme criticised by the UN and rights groups. Malaysia says returns are voluntary, but UNHCR staff were barred from verifying consent. The deportations continue amid mass immigration raids, with a second group of over 3,500 set to follow.
