Immigration Dept frees ex-Bangladesh envoy turned asylum seeker

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 — Former Bangladeshi envoy Mohamed Khairuzzaman, who had been detained by Immigration authorities last week, has been released pursuant to the court order his lawyers won yesterday halting his deportation.

Prior to his release, his lawyers had obtained an interim order from the High Court yesterday to prevent the Immigration Department from going through with his deportation. Khairuzzaman, who had been residing here as a refugee for almost a decade, was arrested on February 10 morning from his home in Ampang here.

Bangladeshi media reported that Khairuzzaman, 65, was among the many names implicated in the 1975 Jail Killing case in Bangladesh at the height of a political war, which saw four prominent figures of political party Awami League killed.
