THE government will name members of a task force that will re-open investigations into the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh and social activist Amri Che Mat tomorrow, said Muhyiddin Yassin.
The Home Minister said the task force has six months to do its work.
“They will be given a job scope that will be for six months, and after that we will see the report from this special task force,” Muhyiddin said on the sidelines of the Immigration Department’s Hari Raya celebration in Putrajaya today.
Muhyiddin is expected to announce who will make up the task force in Putrajaya at 1.30pm tomorrow.
The cabinet had decided last month to form a task force to look into the findings by Malaysia Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) inquiry into enforced disappearances.
In April, the inquiry unanimously concluded that Koh and Amir were victims of enforced disappearances.
The panel had said direct and circumstantial evidence proved, on balance of probability, that they were abducted by state agents, namely the Special Branch of Bukit Aman.
It also urged a task force to be formed to reopen both cases as enforced disappearances, rather than cases of missing persons.
Amri, who was the founder of the welfare group Perlis Hope, left his home in Kangar about 11.30pm on November 25, 2016 ,in his SUV.
Koh, who founded Harapan Komuniti, was believed to have been abducted by a group of men along Jalan SS4B/10 in Petaling Jaya on February 13, 2017, while on his way to a friend’s house. – June 25, 2019.
