Teen's alleged rape in Miri lockup highlights concerns about lack of measures to protect children, says Suhakam


PETALING JAYA: The alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl who was held at the Miri police station lockup raises concerns on the government's lack of measures and mechanisms to protect children, says the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam).

Suhakam's children's commissioner Datuk Noor Aziah Mohd Awal said that such an incident should not have occurred, especially when the child was under the supervision of law enforcement officers.
