"Because he has been created in God's image man is inseparable
from freedom, that freedom which no external force or constraint can
ever take away, and which constitutes his fundamental right,
both as an individual and as a member of society."
(World Day of Peace Message, 1981, n.5)

Because every person was created by God in His image and likeness (Gen1: 26-28)
as well as redeemed by the most precious blood of Christ,
any violation of the personal dignity of the human being cries out
in vengeance to God.
The Internal Security Act (ISA) gives total power to the Minister of Internal Affairs
to arrest anyone without permission from any opponent including the court and
detain that person for up to 60 days without any trial. A detainee of ISA has no right to defend herself/himself on court.
Therefore, ISA violates the dignity of every human person.
