2. VISITS TO DETENTION CENTRES
This year, the Complaints and Monitoring Division (CMD) conducted nine
periodic visits to detention centres (up to September 2020). The number
of visits was fewer than past years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, case-based visits were still carried out, except when COVID-19
cases peaked from March to May and October. During the year, SUHAKAM
visited the following prisons and lock-ups/remand centre - Pengkalan
Chepa Prison in Kelantan, Dusun Dato’ Murad Prison in Melaka, Kajang
Prison in Selangor, Kota Bharu District Police Headquarters (IPD), Melaka
Tengah IPD and National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) Pasir Mas Remand
Centre in Kelantan. We also visited the Temporary Detention Centre
for MCO offenders in Kajang, the shelter for human trafficking victims in
Tanjung Kling Melaka, and Camp Wawasan, a temporary detention centre
for refugees and asylum seekers who arrived by boats in Langkawi, Kedah.
