![]() Suhakam inquiry into lawyers’ arrest beginsPublished Aug 15th, 2009The three-day public inquiry by Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) into the arrest and detention of five lawyers for illegal assembly on May 7, began today
Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Malay: Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Malaysia) better known locally as Suhakam is a human rights watchdog in Malaysia. It was established by the Malaysian Parliament using the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia Act 1999, Act 597. Having being established after the fallout of the Anwar Ibrahim controversy, its creation may have been due to the then Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Muhammad’s desire to exercise damage control. As documented in the online newspaper Malaysiakini, there was a great deal of trepidation about it being a pure whitewash of Dr. Mahathir’s policies. ![]()
