Lelaki dipenjara 20 bulan lari dari tahanan polis

Akibat melarikan diri dari tahanan polis, seorang lelaki yang sebelum itu ditahan atas kesalahan dadah, dihukum penjara selama 20 bulan oleh Mahkamah Majistret di sini hari ini.

Majistret Mohd Firdaus Abdul Wahab membuat keputusan itu selepas tertuduh Thuan Boon Heng, 59, mengaku bersalah atas pertuduhan yang dikemukakan.

Mengikut pertuduhan, Thuan telah melarikan diri dari tahanan polis ketika sedang menerima rawatan di Tingkat 3A Hospital Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang, pada kira-kira jam 7 malam 30 Jun lepas.

Pertuduhan dibuat mengikut Seksyen 224 Kanun Keseksaan yang membawa hukuman penjara maksimum dua tahun atau dengan denda atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Pendakwaan dikendalikan Timbalan Pendakwaraya Hamzah Azhan, manakala tertuduh tidak diwakili peguam.

Terdahulu, Hamzah berkata, tertuduh mempunyai 17 rekod jenayah lampau membabitkan dadah, justeru beliau memohon hukuman berat sebagai pengajaran kepadanya dan masyarakat supaya tidak melarikan diri daripada tahanan polis.

Thuan yang berbaju kuning dan berseluar pendek, serta memakai penutup muka, dalam rayuannya meminta supaya hukuman terhadapnya diringankan kerana dia mempunyai penyakit batuk kering dan memerlukan rawatan.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
