Police arrived while we were protesting and told us they hadn’t given us permission to protest," Ko Kyaw Thein Naing, a member of a support group for migrant workers in Malaysia, said.
“While we discussed this, more people joined in the protest, with some shouting that the two [convicted] workers should be freed, and police then arrested two leaders of the protest,” he said.
“They said foreigners can’t protest in Malaysia,” he said.
