LETTER | What is of more concern is 'chain remand'.

According to the writer, and like many writing on Sosma since the LTTE arrests, Sosma is a law that allows for detention without trial. This is one where Sosma has been much maligned.

In other jurisdictions, it is called pre-charge detention. It is the period that a person can be detained by the police between being arrested and being either charged with a criminal offence or released. It might have been ‘inspired’ by the same period of detention under the UK’s legislation which allows for pre-charge detention of terrorist suspects for up to 28 days without charge.

It is one that governments across the world have had to grapple with. It is about achieving “the appropriate balance between the measures necessary to deal with the very real threat to national security posed by terrorism and the need to avoid diminishing the civil and human rights of the population.”
