KUALA LUMPUR - Lawyers representing five men, including two lawmakers, will be filing habeas corpus applications to challenge their detention under Malaysia's security laws for alleged links to a banned Sri Lankan militant group.

Habeas corpus is a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court, especially to secure the person's release, unless lawful grounds are shown for their detention. Police said the 12 men, including the DAP state assemblymen, were trying to revive the LTTE and had been moving around"big amounts" of funds collected for the purpose.
