马来西亚于9月29日开始执行向缅甸遣返难民的计划,首批1,476名缅甸公民乘坐大巴抵达卢木港海军基地准备登船1。这一第一阶段计划最多涉及5,000人的遣返1。马来西亚政府声称遣返过程完全自愿进行1。
然而,联合国难民署和民间组织对此举措提出了严重关切1。联合国难民署表示,当前条件"不支持缅甸难民的安全和可持续返回"1。根据联合国难民署的数据,目前约193,000名缅甸难民在马来西亚,其中三分之二为罗兴亚人1。
人权活动人士James Bawi Thang Bik指出:"我们担心他们可能被迫在冲突前线作战。对许多人来说,这相当于在自己家园判了死刑"1。自2021年军事政变以来,缅甸陷入内战1,这使得返回者面临被征兵、遭迫害或拘留的风险1。
据报道,马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣表示将邀请缅甸军政领导人敏昂莱进行官方访问,以换取接收罗兴亚人1。
Malaysia began its first phase of repatriating refugees to Myanmar on September 29, with the initial group of 1,476 Myanmar citizens arriving by bus at Lumut Naval Base to prepare for departure by sea 1. The government characterized the repatriation process as strictly voluntary, though the United Nations refugee agency and civil society organizations expressed deep concerns about the safety of returning individuals 1.
The UN Refugee Agency warned that current conditions "do not support safe and sustainable return of Myanmar refugees," citing risks including forced military conscription, persecution, and detention 1. According to the agency's data, approximately 193,000 Myanmar refugees currently reside in Malaysia, with two-thirds identified as Rohingya 1. The first phase is planned to involve up to 5,000 people in total 1. Activist James Bawi Thang Bik stated: "We are concerned they may be forced to fight on conflict front lines. For many, this amounts to a death sentence in their own homeland" 1.
The repatriation occurs against the backdrop of Myanmar's ongoing civil conflict following the military coup in 2021 1. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim indicated plans to invite Myanmar's military leader Min Aung Hlaing for an official visit in exchange for receiving Rohingya individuals 1.
