Human rights group Suaram is appalled by Bukit Aman’s Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division principal assistant director Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay’sFacebook live sharing on Nov 21.
“Two main points were raised in the media coverage of the session. One, that terror suspects should be denied bail automatically as provided for under Sosma; and two, the 28 days remand period should be maintained,” he said in a statement today. “The process for bail as proposed by human rights advocates were always to leave it in the hand of the judiciary as the judiciary serves as the check to any executive action. In this case, why is the judiciary – which presides over criminal trials and issuance of bail for cases of murder, drug trafficking and armed robbery – suddenly unfit and unsound to decide on whether a person should be granted bail when they committed an act of terror?” he asked.
“Under the Criminal Procedure Code, the police have the power to apply for a maximum remand period of 14 days. The key difference between the Criminal Procedure Code and Sosma is that a judge decides on the remand period under the Criminal Procedure Code and the police decide under Sosma. Why should the police, an extension of the executive be granted power to decide on remand process when it ought to be the fundamental duty of the judiciary?” he asked.
