UNHCR Distances Itself from Malaysia's Planned Repatriation of Myanmar Refugees

UNHCR has stated it is not involved in Malaysia's planned repatriation of 1,476 Myanmar nationals, who rights groups say face high risk of torture, mistreatment, and forced conscription upon return. The move signals a potential forced return despite international protection norms, and the lack of UNHCR involvement raises concerns about the safety and voluntariness of the process.
