Lawyer claims documented migrant workers facing deportation for violating MCO

A lawyer has claimed that several documented migrant workers who had been sentenced to a one-month jail term for defying the movement control order (MCO) are now facing deportation by the Immigration Department.

Lawyer Balakrishna Balaravi told Malaysiakini he represented four Bangladeshi documented migrant workers who were arrested in an industrial area near Menglembu, Perak on March 31.
