75 “Person S,” Senior Officer from Perlis State Contingent Headquarters who attended the meeting on January 20, 2015, informed the Commission that Person A notified the meeting about a site that looked like a gravesite near the camp, saying that they did not touch it. Person S informed the Commission further that the chair of meeting asked the Forensic Unit of the Perlis State Criminal Investigation Department to collect information about the suspicious site near the camp and to report directly to the Perlis State Chief Police and notify the Commander of the Northern Brigade of GOF. Classification of the Charges on the Detained Foreigners According to Person R, any enforcement agency may arrest and detain an individual or a group of individuals under the Immigration Act of 1959/63 if they fail to provide a valid travel document when asked. If the authorities arrest an individual or a group of individuals with a local trafficker or guardian, the investigation would be conducted under the Anti-Human Trafficking and AntiSmuggling of Migrants Act of 2017. Investigation of the Gravesite, Wang Burma Hill, Perlis State “Person T,” from the Criminal Investigation Department of Perlis State Police Headquarters, told the Commission that the Head of the Criminal Investigation Department of Perlis State ordered him to visit the scene on March 7, 2015 with the Padang Besar Chief of Police in Perlis State to dig up the site believed to be a gravesite and to confirm whether or not the mounds of earth covered with piles of leaves were graves. The Commission noted that this order came nearly months after Malaysian authorities first reported to superior officers a possible mass grave in the area. According to Person T, the Forensic Unit of Perlis State found that the gravesite had long been there based on their observation of remains exhumed from the gravesite. There were remains that lacked flesh and were only skeletons. Person T suggested that the remains exhumed from the ground had undergone decomposition. He further explained to the Commission that he had informed the Perlis State Chief Police that they confirmed that the site was a gravesite. Person H, as an Investigating Officer, prepared a report about the confirmation process. Person T further stated that the Royal Malaysian Police required considerable time to dig out the suspected gravesite and to confirm that it was a gravesite due to safety concerns. He elaborated that the area around Wang Burma hill has no clear structures to identify the location of the border between Malaysia and Thailand. He also noted that the Royal Malaysian Police needed to acquire approval and clearance from various stakeholders and relevant authorities to investigate the case. Findings Based on statements recorded and evidence presented in this report, the following are the findings of the Commission: 1. The authorities discovered the campsite and a possible mass gravesite on January 19, 2015. The police were ordered to destroy the camp, which would have been useful to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the crimes. The Commission also noted that the authorities were made aware on January 19, 2015 that there was an area that appeared to be a gravesite but the authorities did not conduct a forensic examination of the area until two months later, in March 2015. 2. The Forensic Specialist of the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar, Kedah State and the Forensic Unit of the Perlis State Police Headquarters said it was difficult to determine the victims’ cause of the death because the remains had undergone decomposition and their tissue was largely damaged due to environmental factors.
