I guess the “condition” is to ensure his family members are around in case any critical decisions need to be taken immediately.

As for the links to terrorists, even if one person said so, what about the rest? As far as I remember, there was no statement that said one of them would “use the tactics of the Tamil Tigers”. When was this statement made?

But if  the reason is due to the “speeches which were racist in nature and violated the Federal Constitution”, then I guess Kamunting won’t be enough. Many politicians will be behind bars based on what they say during their general assemblies and political speeches. Maybe have to run parliament from Kamunting ! 😆 » Read more: Uthaya imposed conditions before IJN treatment

PUTRAJAYA, WED (Updated 3:30pm):

The Federal Court today dismissed the appeal of the five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders who are being held under the Internal Security Act.  In upholding the decision of the Judicial Commissioner, the three-man bench – Datuk Allaudin Mohd Sheriff, Datuk Ariffin Zakaria and Datuk Hashim Yusof – ruled that the decision to detain the five under the ISA was legal. The ruling was made after reading the affidavits of the respondents, including that of the Prime Minister’s, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was then the Internal Security Minister.

The Hindraf five – lawyers M. Manoharan, 46, (who is also the Kota Alam Shah assemblyman), P. Uthayakumar, 46, V. Ganabatirau, 34, R. Kengadharan, 40, and Hindraf coordinator T. Vasantha Kumar – were represented by Karpal Singh who said that he would file for a review of the ruling on Monday. The respondents were represented by Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.

Family members and relatives of the five were present at the Federal Court. Several were seen sobbing after the decision. » Read more: HINDRAF ISA detainee appeal rejected

Detained Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) legal adviser P Uthayakumar is “being pressured to secretly undergo treatment” at the National Heart Institute, claimed his brother Waytha Moorthy. In a statement issued from London, where he is living in self-imposed exile, Waytha Moorthy (photo) said his brother is being compelled to do so without his family members being informed. “Uthayakumar fears for his life and does not wish to be treated without the presence and knowledge of his family members at the National Heart Institute,” he wrote. » Read more: Uthaya pressured to undergo secret treatment

HINDRAF Nationwide Peaceful Assembly for Uthaya And ISA detainees

May 12th, 2008

HINDRAF together with various other groups and NGOs organised a nationwide peaceful protest (meaning police did not provoke the protesters, no tear gas and water cannons!) in various location in KL, Seremban, Penang, Ipoh, JB etc.

So far, 7 people were taken for questioning in Penang as reported by MK and Anil Netto , including K Sudhagaran Stanley, M Suparamaniam, B Vimal, Lau Shu Shi, Teh Chun Hong (both Suaram members), social activist BK Ong and blogger Sathish.

My guess is that the bloggers like Sudhagaran and Sathish were there to cover the event, but report says they were distributing phamplets. I wonder if the police are actively targetting those with digital camera and video cameras so that the images and videos don’t get into websites. Its a case of you can’t see it, you can’t talk about it, I guess. Anyway, its a bad idea since many many people have camera phones and digicams now. How many people can you can you arrest? One may stand a bit far and use telephoto lens to zoom in or record from a higher ground, so there are virtually unlimited ways to get things recorded. » Read more: HINDRAF Nationwide Peaceful Assembly for Uthaya And ISA detainees
