It’s ridiculous that the government task force to investigate the enforced disappearances is made up of police officers or those who have worked with the police, MP for Klang Charles SantiagoIn April, Malaysia’s national human rights commission or Suhakam said the police played a role in the enforced disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat, he pointed out.
“Why are the police investigating themselves? What’s even more disturbing is having senior leaders, such as Muhyiddin Yassin, dismiss concerns raised by the civil society, which has spoken out about the conflict of interest.” “ Mokhtar Mohd Noor, the former police legal division head, had a direct interest in the Suhakam probe and even made submissions on behalf of the police during the public inquiry held by Commission,” he said.
Santiago said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been speaking about upholding the rule of law, but the task force reflects anything but that.
