PETALING JAYA: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) is denying allegations that its public inquiry into the disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and Amri Che Mat was an attempt to punish the police.
In a statement on Wednesday , vice-chairman Jerald Joseph said Suhakam adhered to procedures when releasing its reports of the inquiry.
"In this regard, Suhakam has not acted extraordinarily in its release of the reports on Pastor Raymond Koh Keng Joo and Amri Che Mat, and to claim that the Commission is attempting to punish the police or provoke reactions from the public and the establishment is far-fetched," he said. "Suhakam also wishes to reiterate and clarify its position on the status of acts deemed draconian," he added.
