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

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

Its going to be tough, being detainees and having to fulfill his responsibilities to a community located nearly 300KM away. Its not impossible, just difficult. If he can pull it off (and I think he can), it will be a slap in the face for some people. With good support from his team and other ADUNs and MPs, Manoharan can keep in touch with his constituents. Kota Alam Shah voters hopefully will benefit from his service.
