Repeal Sosma, rights group tells govt

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A rights group has demanded that the government repeal the provision that denies bail under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and restore the role of the magistrate in granting remand orders.

Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture (Madpet) said it was disappointed with home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail for defending Sosma and called for the Act to be immediately repealed or significantly amended.
