‘Give good reason for Sosma arrest’

PETALING JAYA: The authorities need to give Malaysians a good answer as to why the 12 individuals, accused of supporting the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), were arrested in the first place, says the Bar Council.

Its president Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor said Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas exercised his discretion to discontinue the case because there was a lack of evidence to prove that the 12 had links to the group.
