马来西亚政府根据与缅甸军事统治者敏昂莱达成的争议协议，启动了遣返寻求庇护者的行动1。约5000名寻求庇护者将被遣返，其中首批1476人定于当日乘坐三艘缅甸海军舰船离开马来西亚1。这批被遣返者包括被迫害的穆斯林少数民族罗兴亚人1。
人权组织对此提出强烈反对，认为被遣返者将面临暴力、迫害以及被强征入缅甸军队的风险1。据了解，2017年8月缅甸军事行动曾驱赶约75万罗兴亚人逃往孟加拉国1，目前超过20万罗兴亚人被认为居住在马来西亚1。尽管国际人权组织提出警告，但马来西亚和缅甸均未说明如何克服这一遣返计划面临的重大障碍1。
马来西亚总理安瓦尔为该政策辩护，称"他们已明显成为一种负担——安全负担、经济负担和人民之间敌意的根源"1。此前5月份的一份Change.org请愿书要求驱逐罗兴亚人，获得超过40万人签名1。
Malaysia has initiated the deportation of approximately 5,000 asylum seekers from Myanmar under a contentious agreement with Myanmar's military ruler Min Aung Hlaing.1 Three Myanmar Navy vessels were scheduled to depart Malaysia carrying the first batch of 1,476 deportees, among them members of the persecuted Rohingya Muslim minority.1
Human rights organizations have strongly criticized the repatriation, warning that those being sent back face severe risks including violence, persecution, and forced conscription into Myanmar's military.1 Male deportees are of particular concern, as there are fears they may be compelled to join the ongoing Myanmar civil conflict.1 Malaysia and Myanmar have not disclosed how they will address the substantial obstacles posed by this repatriation process.1
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has defended the policy, stating that asylum seekers "have clearly become a burden—a security burden, an economic burden, and a source of enmity among the people."1 Over 200,000 Rohingya are believed to currently reside in Malaysia.1 The broader context includes Myanmar's 2017 military campaign that displaced 750,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh.1 A Change.org petition filed in May calling for Rohingya expulsion garnered over 400,000 signatures.1
