Kuala Lumpur: On 30th October, it was a new report revealing (it could be) more than eight of new-born babies are being detained in Lenggeng camp according to the confirmed sources.
It was effectively learn that several pregnant women whose husbands are recognised refugee are reportedly going to hospitals when it comes to a time of delivering baby with only community card because it's a very long time to get recognized status and very hard to get registered with UNHCR even though their spouses have been proved recognized.
Recently, many babies born in hospital whose mothers are appeared to be waiting in line to get registered with UNHCR are directly sent to detention centers and camps, although there is knowledge of needs for the care-- some are along with the mother but some are detained with the absence of the mother.
In a state of shock, the babies needing the intensive cares are strictly controlled and bathing and cleansing is only allowed for twice a day in Lenggeng camp in which it obviously appears that the new-born babies detained are mistreated as the same as all detainees.
And worse, all detainees are verbally abused and attacked in terms of preparing to giving hands to babies according to the local who is tirelessly helping the refugees stranding in Malaysia but spoke to VOCR on the condition of anonymity, adding that it is totally unfair for the infants and it is the way they shouldn't treat refugees inhumanely.
Despite OPI team of UNHCR visiting to camps and detention centers, weekly and monthly, it is learnt that they seem unlikely to reach them. In UNHCR's part, it's been time to effectively review their visits to detention centers. More to the point, they should check if the staff is doing well his job.
