FMT:
Why try to block release of Amri’s report, MP asks govt
Seputeh MP Teresa Kok says Amri Che Mat’s wife deserves to know what happened to her husband who disappeared seven years ago.
Amri Che Mat, the founder of Perlis Hope, went missing in 2016, which led to a Suhakam public inquiry into the incident.
KUALA LUMPUR: A government MP has questioned Putrajaya’s application to set aside a court order last month which compelled it to release a classified report on the disappearance of activist Amri Che Mat to his wife.
Teresa Kok (PH-Seputeh) said Amri’s wife Norhayati Ariffin, has the right to know what happened to her husband who went missing seven years ago.
“This (move by the government) is against human rights and Suhakam should state its stance on this issue,” she said while debating the human rights commission’s 2020 annual report in Dewan Rakyat.
Last week, Norhayati’s lawyer, Larissa Ann Louis, told FMT that the government filed an appeal against the order to release the report and had obtained a stay on the release pending the outcome of the appeal.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court had ordered the government on May 9 to disclose the report to Norhayati within one month.
Amri, the founder of Perlis Hope, went missing in 2016, which led to a Suhakam public inquiry into the incident.
