Hundreds of undocumented migrants and refugees, who are not recognized under Malaysian law, were detained in Kuala Lumpur in a controversial Labor Day raid that police said was aimed at preventing them from travelling while movement curbs remain in place.Human rights groups condemned the raid as a clampdown under the guise of coronavirus-curbing measures. The United Nations, moreover, has warned that fears of arrest and detention could push vulnerable groups into hiding and prevent them from seeking treatment, raising the risks of new community transmission.
