Ministry: No complaint filed over activist Tamim Dahri’s alleged abuse in police custody

Malaysian Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution has confirmed that the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) has not received any formal complaint regarding the alleged abuse of activist Tamim Dahri Abdul Razak while in police custody. The IPCC is investigating Tamim under Section 295 of the Penal Code for defiling a place of worship and religious vandalism.

As of September 25, 2026, no complaints of rough treatment or orders to strip naked in front of other detainees have been received by the IPCC. Saifuddin made this clarification in response to a parliamentary written query from Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut), following claims made about Tamim's treatment at Gombak District Police Headquarters in February.
