KUALA LUMPUR: The 12 individuals detained on suspicion of involvement in the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) will be allowed to see their families for Deepavali.
However, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said only close family members of the 12, including the two DAP assemblymen – one each from Negeri Sembilan and Melaka – can come to the detention centre to see them.
“Police will allow close family members to see the detainees for Deepavali. They can do so by coming to the detention centre where the detainees are currently held,” he told reporters after Friday prayers at the Bukit Aman Mosque here.
Hamid did not disclose the exact location of the detention centre.
Several family members had been staging a protest at Bukit Aman since Monday, urging the police to release the detainees for Deepavali.
On the latest development of the case, Hamid said the investigation papers have been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for further action.
“Police are awaiting feedback from the attorney-general, the investigation is still ongoing,” he said.
The 12 individuals are being detained for 28 days under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012. - FMT
