Joint Press Statement regarding plans to arrest and deport migrant workers involved in organising a protest in G.Dh. Thinadhoo

A joint press statement by three Maldivian civil society organisations objects to a Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology decision to arrest and deport Bangladeshi migrants who organised a protest in G.Dh. Thinadhoo in solidarity with protests in Bangladesh. The signatories call on the State to revoke the deportation decision, adopt the international migrant workers convention, and avoid arbitrary or discriminatory measures against migrants.
