GEORGE TOWN: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Penang’s Bishop Sebastian Francis today hoped for a“rational” answer over alleged clandestine abductions of religious personalities, following a damning report by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia recently.
“There has to be an inquiry and accountability on the part of the authorities to give a rational explanation that is acceptable to the people at large for what happened to not just Pastor Raymond Koh, but all others who are missing. Last week, Suhakam declared Pastor Raymond Koh, Amri Che Mat and others to be victims of “enforced disappearance” after its one-year inquiry which heard testimony from some 40 witnesses.
Koh was abducted on Feb 13, 2017, in Petaling Jaya, while Amri went missing on Nov 24, 2016, after leaving his home in Perlis.
