Former Bangladesh envoy gets stay against deportation


KUALA LUMPUR: A former Bangladesh diplomat, who was arrested here following a request from his government, has staved off the bid to deport him after the High Court granted him an interim stay on the deportation order by Malaysia.

Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan allowed the application by Mohamed Khairuzzaman, a former high commissioner to Malaysia, pending a hearing on the applicant’s habeas corpus application to challenge his detention by the Malaysian government.
