KUALA LUMPUR: The Security Offenses (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012 should be reviewed to ensure that it does not trample the rights of detainees, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The PKR president-elect on Sunday (Aug 26), commenting on a recently-ended hunger strike by 160 Sosma detainees in the Sungai Buloh prison, said that he would bring this matter up with the Home Minister.
