The immigration department poster shared on social media, which Amnesty International has described as ‘despicable’.

PETALING JAYA: A rights group has slammed the immigration department over an anti-Rohingya poster it shared on its Twitter account, saying it could foster “hatred, violence and xenophobia”.

In a hard-hitting statement, Amnesty International Malaysia (AIM) said it was “despicable” to say that a community that had undergone ethnic cleansing and endured unimaginable brutality was not only unwelcomed but also threatened with brute force.
