Kuala Lumpur (VOCR): On November 30, Rela and Immigration personnel geared up raiding in the night of what welcomes Sweet December in Imbi where Chin refugee center located and most populated area for Chin refugees miserably stranding in Malaysia.
The raid was started around 11:00 pm last night and finished in 3:30 am the next early morning and knowing that more than 50 of Chin refugees were swept over. It was learnt that the authority personnel went up to most of the refugee family house in the area and breaking every door they raided according to the eye-witnesses, adding that they (for refugees) absolutely didn't dare to open the door in fear of arresting.
The source that reached by VOCR said that all arrestees were held in Rela center, Chowkit (Jln, Dawan Sultan and Salaiman) for hours. Then, it was appeared that from Chowkit, Rela center, all of Chin refugees those arrested were moved to KLIA whereas other nationals such as Bangladeshi and Indonesian were sent to Lengkeng detention camp—separately sent according to race. In the early morning of December 01, some elders of several Churches rushed to the Rela center if the possibility to raise voices for them. However, it was known that nothing worked out.
The confirmed source provided that there are four who are only holders of community card among all arrested.
Of all dozens of arrestees, the pastor-namely Rev. Lian Ceu who came to attend the "Global Chin Christian Fellowship Conference" held in Kuala Lumpur from 24-28 of November was also arrested and humiliatingly faced being sent along with other refugees to KLIA detention center, although he came upon a granted visa.
Also, it was learnt that the direct providing CTC (Certified Copied) by the office of UNHCR for those who got robbed their cards by gangsters and police were all remained detained in KLIA detention center while other UNHCR's card holders were reportedly released back earlier today.
The current raiding obviously triggers a dramatic depression for further operation and anxiety over reaching to detention center in addition to daily happening arrest for refugees as the security for refugees is being ebbed away day after day.

Rela seems as worst as this report writing.
The report is written with the facts and eye-witnesses. So far as I heard, Rela personnel are far more worse than what VOCR could report.
