Sosma should align with Criminal Procedure Code to curb abuses, says Suhakam


PETALING JAYA: The review of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012 should bring it in line with provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) especially on bail, says the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam).

Its chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Hishamudin Md Yunus said Section 13 of Sosma on bail and Section 4(5) empowering detention of up to 28 days without judicial oversight should be abolished.
