Bangladeshi expatriate Rayhan Kabir, who was arrested in Malaysia after appearing in an Al Jazeera documentary, has returned home at early hours of Saturday.

He landed at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on a Malaysian Airlines flight MH-196 around 1:00am.

Rayhan Kabir was arrested on July 24 following a two-week manhunt, after the Immigration Department issued a wanted notice against him. In addition to having his work permit revoked and the impending deportation, he has been blacklisted from ever entering Malaysia again.

On July 3, 2020, Al Jazeera released the documentary, "Locked Up in Malaysia's Lockdown" that documented the mistreatment of migrant workers by Malaysian authorities under the movement control order implemented to respond to Covid-19.
