As mentioned in Malaysiakini, the law firm of Uthayakumar have temporarily closed until he is released due to financial constraint. The office in Bangsar was one of the main centres for Hindraf.

“This is where it (HINDRAF rally) all started,” Waytha Nagayi, his sister, told Malaysiakini.

According to the sister, there had been offers by certain
individuals to finance the legal firm until Uthayakumar can resume
operations.

“But he specifically told us (during a visit to the
detention centre) that we should close down the office as public funds
should go to the public and not for personal use,” she said.

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

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
