KUCHING: The Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS) calls for a serious review of standard operating procedures in police lockups following the recent alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl by a male detainee while being held at the Miri police station lockup.

SWWS said detained children should not only be separated from adults and placed in a safe facility but also be assigned to a policewoman, especially in the case of female minors.
