Malaysia arrests hundreds more over child abuse claims

Members of a Malaysian religious group accused of human trafficking and child sexual abuse continued committing crimes even after a large-scale police crackdown.
 
The Islamic Global Ikhwan Group (GISB) made international headlines in September after police rescued 402 minors suspected of being abused across 20 care homes.
 
Authorities arrested 171 suspects at the time, including teachers and caretakers - but hundreds more have been arrested since.
 
Among those are allegations that, until October 1, five GISB members trafficked people for the purpose of exploitation by forced labour through threats.
 
Two of the accused were managers of a GISB-owned resort and were charged with four counts of human trafficking.
