RELEASE ALL THOSE DETAINED UNDER THE ISA !

ABOLISH ISA NOW!

Parti Sosialis Malaysia(PSM) calls on the Government to release immediately all the seven people detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) and instead to charge them in court.

Hinting that the seven people were part of a secret group made up of 20 reformasi activists planning to topple the government, without any evidence, is not a justification for detention without trial.

To relate the reformasi movement with a conspiracy to turn a planned gathering this Saturday to commemorate Black 14, into riots is a serious allegation without any solid proof.
Whatever allegations made, the Government must not resort to the ISA, the draconian law inherited from the British colonial masters.

With all the talks about unity and progress, the Malaysian Government seems to take another step backward in destroying democracy or whatever left of it, in this country.

PSM urges the Government, The Prime Minister, the IGP or the Home Minister, to release without condition all those detained under the ISA. Any attempt for further arrests under the ISA must also be scrapped immediately.

PSM calls for the ISA to be abolished immediately.
