PERLIS Hope founder Amri Che Mat, who went missing three years ago, was a victim of enforced disappearance, the Suhakam inquiry panel revealed today.
In international human rights law, a forced disappearance or enforced disappearance occurs when a person is secretly abducted or imprisoned by a state or political organisation, or by a third party with the authorisation, support or acquiescence of a state or political organisation.
Suhakam commissioner Mah Weng Kwai said the panel was unanimous in deciding that state agents were involved, based on evidence unearthed in the year-long public inquiry.
“The evidence proves that he was abducted by state agents. There was no evidence he was detained by police, but he was taken away,” he said at the Suhakam inquiry today.
