Respect detainees’ rights

ISA detainees must never automatically become non-existent.

Whatever the reasons for their detention, the government must ensure that these people, who are citizens of our country, must be accorded their human rights.

Give the detainees a fair trial whatever their crime. Charge them in court and allow the law to take its course. Or else, free them.

Give all detainees their rights. They are humans and they are Malaysians.

Malaysia is a democratic country. It must show the world it practises democracy and respects human rights.
