WorldMalaysia to return 1,500 Rohingya refugees next month despite safety fears

Malaysia says the first phase of its repatriation programme will send at least 1,500 eligible Myanmar refugees home on September 29, using two naval vessels and a hospital ship. The government says it will halt returns if people face persecution or threats to their lives, while Human Rights Watch says conditions for a safe, dignified and voluntary return do not exist.
