Alas, the BN government has repented a bit more ....and will now release another 13, who have been wrongly detained without trial under the ISA.
REPENT totally, and release all of the hundreds (maybe thousands), who are still being wrongly detained under laws that allow for Detention Without Trial.
Some may foolishly be wanting to thank the Home Minister and the BN Government for releasing 13 more ISA Detainees - but, one should never thank the wrong-doer who has done wrong in the first place. If anyone has to be thanked, it is God for finally these 'sinners' have repented - and are liberating the victims of their wrongdoing...
To arrest and keep detained a person without trial is a SIN. Every persons should always have the right to know the charges levied against him, should have the right to be able to defend himself/herself, and should certainly have the right to a fair and open trial before a truly independent judge...Detaining persons on the whims and fancies of a Minister and the government, without even according the detainee the right to challenge the 'alleged' reasons for his/her detention is certainly wrong.

The government will release another 13 Internal Security Act detainees, including three of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders."All of them have been freed because they no longer need to be held under ISA. I will sign the papers now, I expect them to be released in two or three days," said Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a press conference.
He did not give the reasons for the release of the 13 but added that they "no longer needed to be held".
Of the 13 to be released, six are Malaysians, two Indonesians and the remaining five are Filipinos.
