Suhakam Expresses Concern Over Egyptian Student S Arrest In Malaysia


 


Suhakam has expressed concern over the arrest of Egyptian university student Mohammed Marwan, following his peaceful protest outside the Egyptian embassy in Kuala Lumpur last week.
In a statement today, Suhakam said it does not condone acts of vandalism or the defacement of property as a form of protest.
However, it emphasised that any expression of opinion, particularly when carried out in a non-violent and conscientious manner, should be addressed proportionately and in accordance with human rights principles.
“Marwan’s message, in solidarity with civilians in Gaza, reflects a humanitarian concern that is widely shared by Malaysians.
“The right to freedom of expression is protected under Article 10(1)(a) of the Federal Constitution and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR),” the organisation said.
Last week, Free Malaysia Today reported that the student was detained for allegedly vandalising the walls of the Egyptian embassy with pro-Palestine slogans, urging for the opening of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
The embassy then lodged a police report on the matter, accusing Marwan of “grand treason”, and describing the act as “a threat to national security”.
Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad told FMT that police had opened an investigation paper into the protest under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief.
The arrest drew condemnation from international NGO groups who urged the Malaysian government to release and not extradite the student, noting Egypt’s “poor human rights record” and repeated “violations against peaceful demonstrators” as a threat to his safety.
Fundamental freedoms
Suhakam confirmed that Marwan has since been released from custody and that no deportations will take place. However, it still described the arrest as a concerning violation against the universal right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
It also reminded Malaysian authorities of their obligations under international human rights law, including the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits returning individuals to countries where they may face torture, persecution, or inhumane treatment.
It further urged authorities to remain vigilant in upholding fundamental freedoms guaranteed under national and international law, and for Malaysia to ensure that its legal processes and enforcement mechanisms are not influenced by external pressures that could compromise these rights.
“Malaysia has long held a firm stance in support of humanitarian justice, particularly concerning the plight of the Palestinian people. This position has been echoed by many in Malaysian society, including the highest levels of government.
“In this context, the arrest of a student for expressing solidarity with the same cause may send a conflicting message and risks undermining public trust in the consistency of Malaysia’s human rights commitments.
“As a matter of principle, no individual, regardless of nationality, should be penalised for peacefully exercising their conscience in support of justice, human dignity, and the protection of civilians from violence.
“Upholding these values is vital to preserving Malaysia’s standing as a nation committed to human rights and the rule of law,” the organisation said. - Mkini
