Pakatan Harapan is now divided after Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution said there is no need to review the controversial law Sosma and this got the MP for Damansara, Gobind Singh Deo who urged the minister to relook at certain critical provisions of the law.
He says the provisions that allow detention for up to 28 days without access to court deny justice to detainees and allows for abuse adding that this is the reason PH voted against the motion brought by the previous Home Minister to extend section 4(5) of SOSMA in Parliament on 23rd March 2022.
Gobind Singh: Relook at Sosma
“After an accused is charged, section 13 relating to bail remains a problem. That section states bail shall not be granted to a person who has been charged with a security offence and limits bail to strict instances under subsection 2 for certain cases and he says this provision needs immediate review hence to relook at Sosma.
