Bangladeshi national, Mohd Rayhan Kabir, who was interviewed in the Al Jazeera documentary entitled “Locked Up in Malaysia’s Lockdown” is to be deported to his home country tonight.
He was taken to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at about 9 pm by immigration officers.
Rayhan, 25, who was carrying a sling bag, managed to wave and give a thumbs-up sign to a group of media representatives before being taken to the Immigration counter.
It was learned that he will be taking a Malaysia Airlines flight to Dhaka, Bangladesh at 11 pm.
Rayhan was detained in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur on July 24 after the Immigration Department sought public assistance to track down the individual who appeared the Al Jazeera documentary.
In the documentary, Rayhan spoke about the treatment of illegal immigrants by the Malaysian authorities during the implementation of the movement control order (MCO) to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Immigration director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud had earlier announced that Rayhan would be deported to his country of origin after all police investigations had been completed.
This apart from cancelling his work permit and also blacklisting from entering Malaysia again. - Bernama
