A Rohingya mother who died in detention in July was unable to avail herself of the services of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to verify her status as a legitimate cardholder issued in Indonesia, says lawyer M Ramachelvam.

Ramachelvam (above), who is representing her family, was granted leave to file a judicial review of an order to deport Khatijah Bashir Ahmad and her five children, by the Shah Alam High Court today.
