Malaysian police have conducted a series of raids and rescues in connection to an Islamic business group under investigation for alleged sexual assault of children. A total of 187 children and young people, including 59 under the age of 5, were rescued from welfare homes associated with Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) Holdings. The police chief revealed that disturbing online videos showed instances of physical abuse, including caning and stepping on children.
Since the case against GISB emerged, a total of 572 children under the age of 18 have been rescued, with 156 suspects arrested for further investigation. Reports indicate that some children were subjected to heinous acts such as sodomy, being taught to sexually abuse each other, denied medical care, and physically harmed as punishment.
