JOHOR BARU: A Johor executive councillor has called upon the authorities to hold a fair trial for the 12 people arrested for alleged links to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
State Unity, Domestic Trade and Consumerism committee chairman Dr S. Ramakrishnan said the suspects were unjustly arrested by police and held under the Security Offences Act 2012 , which he described as a draconian law.
“LTTE has long been disbanded about 10 years ago and the suspects have been detained without any proof that they are a threat to the country, this is one of the reasons why Sosma has to go,” he added. Ramakrishnan, who is Bekok assemblyman, also handed over a memorandum to Special Branch officer Asst Supt Mohammad Zaki Sidek, who received it on the behalf of Johor Baru OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Taib Ahmad.
