Time to bury draconian Sosma, say civil society groups

Lawyer and activist Ambiga Sreenevasan says the police don’t need to have a solid basis of detention with Sosma and that is one of the many reasons the law must be abolished. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, October 21, 2019.

ACTIVISTS and civil society groups are perturbed with the continued use of the Security Offences Act that permits detention without trial. They said the draconian law must be repealed for its violation of human rights, adding that there are sufficient provisions in the other laws to provide powers for the police to discharge their function effectively.
