Sosma must balance security and human rights, says Lee Lam Thye

KUALA LUMPUR: The Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) was introduced to address national security threats, particularly terrorism, organised crime, and activities undermining public order, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The social activist said while maintaining security and stability is crucial, it should not come at the expense of fundamental human rights and civil liberties.
