Al Jazeera finds it disturbing that Bangladeshi migrant worker Mohammad Rayhan Kabir has been arrested for choosing to speak up about some of the experiences of the voiceless and the vulnerable. 1/3
Rayhan Kabir, who featured in Al Jazeera’s 101 East programme ‘Locked Up in #Malaysia’s Lockdown’, was subjected to abusive online harassment, hate speech and became the target of a manhunt. Authorities say he will be expelled from Malaysia. 2/3
Al Jazeera reaffirms its support to freedom of expression as a fundamental human right – without the fear of being criminalised. 3/3
