PUTRAJAYA: The lawyers for Md Rayhan Kabir, the Bangladeshi who was interviewed in an Al Jazeera documentary which has raised controversy here, say they have yet to meet their client since he was arrested. “I was informed that my request has to go through the (Immigration Department) heads first before permission is given (to see him). Md Rayhan was arrested by a team of Immigration officers from the Putrajaya office around 5.45pm in Setapak on Friday (July 24). They had earlier sought the help of the public to track down Md Rayhan. Rayhan is alleged to have made false claims about Malaysia's treatment of undocumented migrants in its fight against the Covid-19 pandemic when he was interviewed in the Al Jazeera documentary.
