Hisham: Malaysia no safe haven for the wanted


The home minister today defended the government’s decision to deport Saudi Arabian national Hamza Kashgari to avoid Malaysia being regarded as a safe haven for those who are wanted by their countries of origin.

hamza kashgari 120212"I will not allow Malaysia to be seen as a safe country for terrorists and those who are wanted by their countries of origin, and also be seen as a transit county," Hishammuddin Hussein told the media after attending an international conference in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

He also denied the claim, that went viral on Internet yesterday, that a court injunction had been issued to stop the deportation.

"I didn't receive any injunction. If the court gives an injunction, we will comply," said Hishammuddin, who was accompanied by inspector-general of police (IGP) Ismail Omar.

"There was also no request by the Interpol as claimed by some; but a request from the Saudi Arabian government,” he added.
Yesterday the government deported Hamza, who had fled Saudi Arabia over his Twitter postings on the Prophet Muhammad.

His deportation caused an outcry amongst the local NGOs and civil society for breaching human rights principles as Hamza is likely to face the death penalty in his home country.
