马来西亚律师公会呼吁希盟政府兑现竞选宣言,尽快废除《1948年煽动法令》、《2012 年国家安全罪行( 特別措施) 法令》(SOSMA)、《2013年防范罪案法令》(POCA),以及《2015年反恐法令》等压迫性恶法。 该公会主席乔治瓦鲁格斯律师指出,上述四大恶法允许执法者未审先扣和豁免司法审查(ouster clause)条款,形同停留在殖民时期。 他认为,现有法令已经足够应付犯罪和恐怖主义的威胁。如果觉得不足,理应修改现有法令,或草拟符合法治的新法。 他也提及过去一些法令在没有经过适当辩论或测试,就匆匆在国会通过,《2018假新闻法令》就是一例,它的内容、意图和影响都有疑问和缺陷。 马内政部长吁保留恶法 早前,马内政部长募尤丁宣布该国政府将保留SOSMA和POCA法令,指出二法若废除,恐怖分子和罪犯可恣意威胁国家安全。 律师公会对此发文抨击,指希盟竞选宣言承诺废除上述严厉条例,表示“政府应尊重法治”,“不应享有绝对自主权(carte blanche),剥夺人民在宪法享有的权利和公民自由。” 律师公会指出,保留二法形同背叛人民,SOSMA和POCA过去也曾多次遭滥用而恶名昭彰,也有可能被政府滥用。
