| Malaysia Won't Release Thais Without Human Rights Assurance |
| 2005-09-29 |
| KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will not hand over the 131 Southern Thai nationals to the Thai authorities following the violence in Thailand's restive Muslim province until their human rights are assured and not infringed upon. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said however to date the government had not decided on the next move... He said whatever decision to be taken by Malaysia on the status of the 131 Thai nationals, such as sending them to a third country, would be based on the principle held by this country, that is the principle of human rights and rule of law. Najib said the understanding between Malaysia and Thailand were also based on the principle. He said Malaysia maintained that the problem in Southern Thailand should be seen as a political issue and not merely a security or military problem. Hence, the matter should not be resolved through military means alone, but must be seen from a wider perspective... Najib said Malaysia had always taken a position to cooperate with neighbouring countries and would try to solve whatever problems that arose. |
