Malaysian police have detained more than 100 Rohingya refugees and asylum seekers who had gathered to seek assistance from the United Nations (UNHCR) after being evicted from their homes. The arrests come amid a surge in online hate speech and misinformation targeting the Rohingya community in Malaysia, which rights groups say has fuelled increasing harassment of the group. The Rohingya are a predominantly Muslim stateless minority who fled persecution in Myanmar and represent one of the world's largest stateless populations, with tens of thousands residing in Malaysia without formal legal status.
