BBC News - Malaysia moves to end detentions without trial: "Malaysia has announced a new security law that will end the government's power to detain people indefinitely without trial.
The new bill, expected to be passed by parliament, limits the detention period to 28 days and offers more legal protection to those accused.
Prime Minister Najib Razak described it as a historic day for Malaysia.
But opposition groups say the new law is draconian and that the 28-day time limit is still unacceptable."
