Fifteen years ago, V Ganabatirau, who is now the MP for Klang, was among the five Hindraf leaders held under the now-defunct Internal Security Act (ISA).
“I know what these men have gone through and it upsets me that people still believe that Sosma shouldn’t be abolished,” he told reporters.
The DAP lawmaker was referring to the controversial Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), which replaced the ISA.
Ganabatirau and two other Pakatan Harapan MPs, Chew Choon Man and RSN Rayer, had inked a memorandum to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail requesting bail for Sosma detainees and for the legislation to be reviewed.
Rights group Suaram representatives and families of the detainees had gathered outside Parliament this morning to submit the memorandum, which was received by Saifuddin’s aide.
