Bar calls for inquests following Saifuddin's zero custodial deaths claim

The Malaysian Bar has expressed grave concerns over the claim by Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail that there have been no custodial deaths in immigration and police detention centres attributable to the authorities since he took office.

In a statement today, it emphasised several critical points that need immediate attention and action, highlighting that there needed to be a thorough and independent investigation by coroners into the claims.
