This case is getting interesting. His family and close supporters claim negligence, while SUHAKAM guy and authorities say everything was done according to rules. Perhaps its time to relook the rules if it is infringing on basic rights.

I’m surprised to hear that he is still been given starchy food. You would need a basic amount of carbo, but have to be controlled due to diabetic condition. So, is his diabetic levels being monitored?

Being in detention is the same as being a prisoner, isn’t it (except the trial part)?  So, loss of weight, skin problem, stress, weakness, etc. all can be expected. Being paralysed is not.

Can a patient waive his medical report confidentiality so that his relatives can get second opinion? Specifically, can a prisoner do so? We read in  papers that parents of a detainee (chinese) who died in look-up recently (I think i read it about 3 or 4 days ago) were denied access to medical reports by the police. But the guy did a medical check up before being arrested – which produced a clean bill of health. » Read more: uthaya makes new appeal

Wow! This is quite serious, detainee (temporarily?) paralysed until need to use wheelchair. His condition was not informed to even his wife until brought out for treatment. Wonder why he is detained for until end up like this.

Wife of ISA detainee lodges report, alleges torture

source
KUALA LUMPUR: The wife of an Internal Security Act detainee lodged a police report yesterday against the Home Ministry, police and the Kamunting detention centre in Perak, claiming her husband had been tortured.
Sharmila Uthiakumar claimed her husband Sanjeev Kumar Krishnan, 25, is now wheelchair-bound because of the torture.

In her report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters, she claimed her husband’s legs and his left hand were paralysed.

This was the second report to be lodged. The first was lodged by Sanjeev on April 25, at the Taiping police headquarters.

Sharmila said before her husband’s two-year ISA detention, he was remanded for 60 days until Sept 22 last year.
“I was only informed about my husband’s condition in April this year, after he was brought by the camp authorities to the Taiping Hospital for treatment.”

I think the trip to IJN should be informed to his next-of-kin in case any complications arise. Interesting to note that there was a medical examination prior to detention term. Does it include heart condition and diabetes? Then, a comparison can be done on Uthaya’s before and after condition.

Uthaya imposed conditions before IJN treatment

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

source
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
