Amnesty International has criticised the Malaysian government for deporting a Cambodian ex-police chief to his home country, where he fears he will be tortured and killed.
Heng Pov's lawyers were shocked by the move, which came as Federal Court judges were about to hear an appeal against the deportation order.
Amnesty International's Malaysian branch says the deportation is evidence that the Malaysian government has failed to respect the asylum process.
Malaysian rights group Suaram also condemned the "lightning" deportation and said it raised questions about whether the Cambodian government had put pressure on Malaysia.
Heng Pov was convicted and sentenced in absentia by a Cambodian court on September 18 for conspiracy in connection with the killing of a judge in Phnom Penh.
He fled the country and arrived in Malaysia, where he was detained on immigration offences in early October.

ONE DAY VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST THE MASTER OF THE HUN SEN DRUG DEALER AND THE ROYAL CROOK'S CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT WILL SWALLOW MALAYSIA SAM AS THEY SWALLOW CHAMPA(OLD MUSLIM COUNTRY) IN THE PAST.
Malaysia has sided with the low morale gangster gov't. With this gov't it would benefit more through deals and favors and who knows what else than if it would with Heng Peo, who is fighting for his life, who would only pay for the cost he incured with authorities. It is also a slap in the face to Finland who issued Heng peo a visa over concern of human rights violation by the Cambodian gov't. Malaysia has spoken and chose the side of gangster gov't.
"raised questions about whether the Cambodian government had put pressure on Malaysia".
Any dumbass can see that some in the Malaysian governments were "paid off". Most Southeast Asian governments are crooks regardless of what country they are.
