The government of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been told to abolish the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and stop using the oppressive law against detainees who are awaiting fair trial and justice.

The message was conveyed by the families of Sosma detainees outside the Kajang Prison this morning during the pre-trial case management there involving 34 individuals who have been accused of being members of the organised crime group, “Geng 08 GST”.

Most of the 34 men were detained under Sosma on June 23 this year, while the remaining were nabbed soon after. They were later charged under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years upon conviction.

Lawyer Shalvin Kanvinchelvan, who is representing one of the 34 detainees, said the court had fixed hearing dates in 2024 during case management today.
