Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has called for the immediate release of DAP assemblypersons P Gunasekaran and G Saminathan who were detained over their alleged links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

The DAP veteran said the pair, arrested under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), must be freed or be charged in court to afford them a chance to defend themselves.
