The minister said people could even die while walking around.
Several human rights activists have slammed Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s statement, which was deemed careless on reports of deaths at immigration detention centres.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin’s insensitive remark on prisoner deaths. North-South Initiative executive director Adrian Pereira accused the minister of underestimating the tragedy, while Irene Xavier of the Selangor Women’s Friends Association said the reaction was “heartless”. He should examine whether these detainees are victims of smuggling or trafficking and have access to legal representation in which they are detained.
“If we detain someone who commits a crime and we put them in a depot, and then they die, who should we blame?”
