MP SPEAKS | In the midst of skyrocketing numbers of Covid-19 cases hitting a new high of 4,029, incidents of sexual violations tend to fall through the cracks in the news.
All attention is naturally on clusters, infected communities and how soon can the vaccine arrive.
My biggest fear came true when I read about
the case of a 16-year-old girl who was detained in the police lockup in the Miri Police Station, Sarawak on Jan 8, 2021, as a suspect in a gambling raid.
She was raped while being held under detention under police custody by another inmate the next day on Jan 9 between 4 to 5 am.
