Teoh Beng Hock’s sister has urged the United Nations Human Rights Council to press Malaysia for an independent probe into the ex-aide’s death, underscoring persistent concerns over custodial deaths in the country.
Speaking in Geneva, Switzerland, Lee Lan said: “I have travelled thousands of miles to bring this demand for justice before you. I ask you to press for accountability.”
She told delegates that 17 years after Beng Hock died in MACC custody, no one has been held accountable despite the Court of Appeal ruling in 2014 that his death was caused by “unlawful acts by unknown persons”.
