PETALING JAYA: Two human rights organisations have filed for a judicial review in the Kuala Lumpur High Court to stop the government’s plan to deport 1,200 Myanmar nationals to the country’s military government.

Amnesty International Malaysia executive director Katrina Jorene Maliamauv said the effort to stop the deportation is based on information that asylum seekers and refugees were among those being sent to Myanmar on Tuesday (Feb 23).
