In a brief statement released on its official Twitter account tonight, Al Jazeera asserted that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. As a result, it found Md Rayhan Kabir’s arrest “disturbing” because he had chosen to speak up on behalf of “the voiceless and the vulnerable”. “Al Jazeera reaffirms its support to freedom of expression as a fundamental human right — without the fear of being criminalised.”
It added that Rayhan will be deported from Malaysia and permanently barred from re-entering the country.
