KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) has described the condition of the Tanah Merah Immigration Depot in Kelantan as deplorable and hazardous to the health and wellbeing of its occupants. “In terms of physical and building conditions, Suhakam found that two out of the three main blocks made of wooden structures were dilapidated. He said during the visit, Suhakam found that in one block that housed male detainees, all five toilets were blocked and not functioning. “The toilet conditions in the other male blocks were also unacceptable. “It is Suhakam’s view that the poor conditions may further contribute to mental health concerns of both detainees and staff.
