Rights group calls for the suspension of the IGP, who headed the Special Branch at the time.

A rights group has urged the Home Ministry to take swift action after the Human Rights Commission concluded that the Special Branch was involved in the Citizens Against Enforced Disappearances spokesperson R Rama said in a statement today that the ministry must act within the week and during the current session of Parliament.

Caged also called on Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to suspend inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun, who headed the Special Branch when Amri and Koh were abducted in 2016 and 2017 respectively. The three-member Suhakam panel unanimously concluded yesterday that both Amri and Koh were victims of enforced disappearances, as defined under the United Nations International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance .This conclusion was further supported by what the panel observed to be similarities in how both abductions were carried out, and how both victims were monitored by religious authorities prior to their disappearance.

The group is also pushing for Putrajaya to release a timeline for the implementation of Suhakam's recommendation in the current session of Parliament, which ends next week.In a separate statement, Caged, together with the International Federation for Human Rights and Suaram, also called for an impartial investigation to determine the fates of Amri and Koh, and bring the alleged perpetrators to justice.

Home ministry & minister MuhyiddinYassin still sleeping. He'll probably act in another week or two. *yawns*

the mastermind behind Seafield temple also conveniently 'disappeared'

Caged is asking the wrong people. The people responsible for all these disappearances are the misguided jihadists sitting inside the Home Ministry. Not a chance these misguided jihadists will tell you what they have done to all those missing persons.

Get those who ? Instruct the abduction ? and ordered the abductions ?. Justice should be done with transparency as promised by PH governance !!!
