Consider This: End Child Detention (Part 2) - Alternatives to Child Migration Detention
Earlier this year, the Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution announced that children should no longer be detained in immigration detention centres, pledging to place them instead under the care of NGOs that specialise in the welfare of children. Then in August the Home Ministry announced 23 children and 10 of their parents or guardians have been relocated from existing immigration detention centres to what the government has termed as a “children friendly” detention centre, called Baitul Mahabbah. Does this move signify the Malaysian government will finally put an end to child immigration detention in Malaysia? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Hannah Jambunathan, Asia Pacific Programme Officer with the International Detention Coalition, and Coordinator for End Detention Network (EDN), which is a coalition of 21 civil society organisations and individuals working to ensure that no person is detained in Malaysia due to their immigration status.
