3 refugees held after report of sexual offence against disabled woman
A 20-year-old woman lodged a report on Friday, after which a video was widely circulated yesterday showing a crowd gathering at a block of flats.
Three male refugees from Myanmar have been detained in Kemaman district following allegations of a sexual offence against a 20-year-old woman with intellectual disabilities. The suspects, aged between 19 and 28, were arrested after a video circulated showing a crowd gathering in front of a block of flats in Chukai, where the incident was reported.
Kemaman district police chief Razi Rosli stated that the three men were arrested on Friday following a report lodged by the victim. Police are seeking to identify any additional individuals involved in the incident. Considering the victim's intellectual disabilities, police have assured her that they will provide her sufficient time to ensure a fair investigation.
Razi urged the public to refrain from taking hasty actions against Rohingya refugees, as such actions could potentially lead to criminal acts.
