Not reviewing Sosma a cause for concern, says Suhakam

PETALING JAYA: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) is concerned over home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail’s defence of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

Suhakam chairman Rahmat Mohamad said Section 4 of Sosma, in which arrest, detention and renewal of the detention period do not require judicial oversight, was especially worrisome.
