Suhakam’s report outlined how the abductions of Amri and Koh were allegedly carried out by state agents, namely from the Bukit Aman Special Branch. — Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the government would open a new investigation into Suhakam’s report, but only after Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun retired next month as Inspector-General of Police.Recognised by most nations as a crime against humanity, enforced disappearances involve the clandestine abduction of someone regarded as a threat by their government that then refuses to acknowledge the victim’s fate or whereabouts.
Some cases of enforced disappearances have escalated into genocide such as the Anfal genocide during the late 1980s that saw at least 182,000 Kurds killed during the Iran-Iraq war. Closer to home, without discounting the remaining unsolved cases of our own, neighbours Thailand and the Philippines have also had a number of their citizens relegated into the realm of enforced disappearances.
Since no existing law curtailing enforced disappearance was in existence at the time, the human rights court had to rely on different but similar articles from the American Convention on Human Rights in 1969. Suhakam’s report outlined how the abductions of Amri and Koh were allegedly carried out by state agents, namely from the Bukit Aman Special Branch, under the instruction of the ruling regime satisfying the first vein of Article 2.
