V Vemal Arasan says authorities should stop arrests for the sake of 'verifying' documents. FMTNews VVemalArasean IGP Foreigners RandomChecks

Lawyer V Vemal Arasan represented Vietnamese Tran Thi Thoai Trin and Nigerian Simon Adavize Momoh, who were detained by police.

“It takes a few minutes to verify the details with the immigration authorities, not two weeks,” he told FMT. “In fact, it is incumbent upon the government to make the necessary amendments to the Immigration Act so that further abuses do not take place,” he said. “Besides that, the police cannot detain them at will, or to be remanded for two weeks, on the grounds of confirming whether their Immigration Department-stamped passport or document is genuine or otherwise,” Bernama quoted him as saying.
