Malaysian authorities have intensified their crackdown on the Islamic Global Ikhwan Group (GISB), arresting hundreds more individuals linked to Malaysian Child Abuse allegations. This development comes after the initial rescue of 402 minors from 20 care homes in September.
Further investigations have uncovered disturbing details of exploitation. Five GISB members allegedly trafficked people for forced labor through threats until October 1. The scope of abuse is alarming, with victims ranging from one to 17 years old.
The Malaysian Child Abuse cases have sparked widespread concern, prompting calls for increased protection. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail revealed that children as young as two were separated from families and forced into “practical training.”
GISB operates in 20 countries and has business interests in hospitality, food, and education. However, its ties to the banned Al-Arqam religious sect have raised concerns.
To date, the police operation has resulted in 415 arrests and the rescue of 625 children. Malaysian authorities are working with Interpol to expand the investigation internationally, tackling Malaysian Child Abuse cases head-on.
The investigation continues, with authorities seeking justice for the victims.
