00:00An NGO has called on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to intervene after the Home Ministry

00:06refused to accept a memorandum from Sosma Detainee's family members demanding urgent

00:11answers about their loved one's well-being.

00:14The families, who staged a hunger strike outside Tsunebulo Prison last weekend, gathered at

00:19the Ministry Building today to push for a meeting with officials and hand over the memorandum.

00:24Sivan Doraisamy, Executive Director of Human Rights Group Suarum, said a Home Ministry

00:29official met with the families, but only said that she would relay their concerns.

00:34He urged Anwar to look into the matter, saying he himself had been incarcerated in Tsunebulo

00:39Prison and had encountered Sosma detainees during his time there.

00:43Sivan said the families were now considering further action, including resuming their hunger

00:48strike, continuing their protest outside the Ministry, or even marching to the Prime Minister's

00:53office.

00:54The family decided to go on a hunger strike in solidarity with the detainees after Human

00:57Rights Commission Suhakam said on Wednesday that it would investigate claims of inadequate

01:02medical care and delay trials faced by several Sosma detainees.

01:07Suarum said yesterday that the families wanted to meet Home Ministry officials in Putrajaya

01:11to demand answers as to why their applications to visit the detainees were refused.
