KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6\u00a0(NNN-BERNAMA) \u2013 Police have sent the investigation papers on the controversial\u00a0Al Jazeera documentary entitled\u00a0\u201cLocked Up in Malaysia\u2019s Lockdown\u201d to the Attorney-General\u2019s Chambers for further action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Huzir Mohamed said the investigation papers included the case of Bangladeshi Md Rayhan Kabir, 25, who was interviewed in the documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe investigation papers were sent this afternoon and we will wait for further instruction from the AG\u2019s Chambers,\u201d he told Bernama when contacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month Al Jazeera aired the 25 min and 50-sec-long documentary, which criticised Malaysia\u2019s handling of illegal immigrants during its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police have recorded statements from six staff of Al Jazeera and Md Rayhan as part of their investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, police also raided three media premises involving the Al Jazeera, Astro and\u00a0UnifiTV television stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud confirmed that the remand of Md Rayhan has been extended by 13 days beginning tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the remand extension was granted by the Semenyih Special Court on Cases of Illegal Immigrants in Selangor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Md Rayhan was arrested in Setapak here on July 24, following the Immigration Department\u2019s appeal to the public to help track him down after he alleged in the documentary that Malaysian authorities had mistreated illegal immigrants when implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, Khairul Dzaimee said Md Rayhan would be deported after police had completed their investigations and he would be blacklisted from entering the country for life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
