## Resource

The Ministry of Home Affairs is strongly disputing a recent news report’s claims about the Juvenile Holding Centre, calling it riddled with inaccuracies and demanding a public correction. Clarifying that the facility houses only court-ordered juveniles—not child protection referrals—the Ministry emphasizes its strict security, controlled movements, and full compliance with national and international child rights standards. Beyond custody, the center prioritizes rehabilitation through education, vocational training, therapy, and recreational activities. The Ministry is particularly alarmed by leaks exposing private juvenile identities, stressing children’s right to dignity and privacy. They’re demanding retraction and apology from the MP who made the statements, urging media and officials to verify facts before publishing—and reaffirming their unwavering commitment to safeguarding every child in the system.
