Family anxiously waits for hearing date to stop M'sian-born kids' deportation

Activists and the family of three Malaysian-born boys, aged seven to 12, are waiting anxiously for a court date for a habeas corpus hearing to stay a deportation order for the children who have been held in immigration detention for three weeks.

Lawyer Hartini Zainudin said the Immigration Department earlier told their family that the boys, whose mother is also Malaysian-born and holds a green identity card, were to be deported to Indonesia.
