Groups dispute Maria’s detention under Sosma

Supporters gather: Maria’s sympathisers at Dataran Merdeka.

PETALING JAYA: Concerned groups continue to question Bersih 2.0 chairman Maria Chin Abdullah’s detention under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

The allegations of an offence under Section 124C levelled against her “appear to be baseless and her detention under Sosma cannot be justified,” said Malaysian Bar president Steven Thiru.
