PETALING JAYA: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) has called on Putrajaya to abolish the controversial Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and other draconian laws allowing detention without trial.

Suhakam chairman Rahmat Mohamad said Section 4 of Sosma, which permits the arrest, detention, and extension of detention of an individual without judicial oversight, violates the fundamental principles of human rights.Rahmat said Suhakam had received a memorandum about a hunger strike by Sosma detainees in the Sungai Buloh and Alor Setar prisons on July 30. Suhakam then visited both prisons on Aug 1 to interview the Sosma detainees and gather information about the hunger strike.
