Bangladeshi citizen Rayhan Kabir who was featured in an Al Jazeera documentary about Malaysian police raids on immigrants migrants amid coronavirus pandemic will arrive in Dhaka tonight (Friday night).

Quoting Malaysian Immigration Department, the Free Malaysia Today reported that Md Rayhan Kabir would be sent home to Bangladesh on a Malaysian Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
"The [immigration] team taking him to KLIA is expected to put him in the flight at 9pm [local time]," it added.

Rayhan is expected to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal Airport in Dhaka at 1:00am.

On Wednesday, Rayhan's lawyer Sumitha Shaanthini Kishna had told Free Malaysia Today that the department had informed her that no charges would be filed against Rayhan.

Rayhan's work permit was revoked on July 8 and he was detained on July 24.

He was among those featured in the Al Jazeera report, "Locked Up in Malaysia's Lockdown", which was aired on July 3. The documentary said that authorities had treated migrants poorly during the movement control order period to contain the spread of Covid-19.
