Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein announced that five Internal Security Act detainees will be released with certain conditions later today.

Two of them have been in detention since April 2002 and the remaining three since 2007 for alleged involvement in terrorist movement Jemaah Islamiah.

The five are Mat Shah Mohd Satray, Abdullah Daud, Mohd Nasir Ismail @ Hassan, Mohd Kamil Hanafiah and Mohd Amir Hanafiah.

Mat Shah and Abdullah were detained in 2002 while the other three in May 2007.

Mat Shah was a technician at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and originally said to be a member of Kumpulan Militant Malaysia, and later alleged to be a JI member. He was arrested on April 18, 2002.

Abdullah meanwhile was a lecturer at UTM Johor and was arrested on Jan 3, 2002 for allegedly being a JI member as well.

A Hari Raya gift, nothing to do with by-election

In announcing their release today, Hishammuddin said they were being released as they have been fully rehabilitated.

"They responded well to our rehabilitation process and expressed their regret for being involved in their past activities," said Hishammuddin at a press conference in his ministry at Putrajaya.

He also said that the release was a Hari Raya gift for the families of the five from the government.

He however denied that the release was due to the oncoming Bagan Pinang by-election in Negeri Sembilan.
