The Government has rejected a call by 16 former detainees for a commission of inquiry to investigate their detentions under the Internal Security Act (ISA), as well as those of all other former ISA detainees.
The rejection, in a statement from the Home Affairs Ministry on Thursday evening, came a day after the 16 said in a statement of their own that an independent commission should examine if allegations against them and all former ISA detainees were justified. The 16 were detained in different waves of arrests between the 1960s and the 1980s.
