JAYA: Civil societies and legal experts have urged the government to abolish security-related Acts that allow the detention of a person without trial.
They particularly singled out the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (Poca).
Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) executive director Sevan Doraisamy said this is in light of the recent report of family members of 22 men
detained under Sosma who claimed they were assaulted while held in the Jelebu prison in Negri Sembilan.
“The Home Ministry should also do away with detention without trial and the use of excessive remand orders.
