AG's action mocks police integrity, says Umno

Will there be a review of those accused of IS links, says Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin. FMTNews LTTE UMNO

Some of the 12 people arrested in October for alleged links to the now-defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

Khaled also wondered if the attorney-general would review the case against others detained under the Sosma security law, including people charged with supporting Islamic State and Jemaah Islamiyyah. “So what rationale can the attorney-general offer that could preserve the integrity of the actions by the police and the prosecutors, which was in line with the law?” he said in a statement.

The men have been detained since October under Security Offences Act, or Sosma, over their alleged links to the LTTE, a militant organisation that tried to create an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka.
