KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman’s counter-terrorism chief Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay today confirmed that the investigation papers on the 12 individuals detained for alleged links to the now-defunct Liberal Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorist movement have been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
He said they will wait for a decision by the AGC on whether the 12 will continue to be detained or released based on the evidence presented.
Police have arranged special visits for family members of the 12 at their detention centre in conjunction with Deepavali today.
“Everyone is given a maximum of two hours to meet with their family members. They can bring along food,” he told reporters at a press conference.
Ayob said the detainees were healthy. “There are some who have allergies but doctors have visited them and prescribed medication,” he said.
The 12, including two DAP assemblymen, are being detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma).
