\n| \n Of the five Hindraf leaders detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), P Uthayakumar recorded the highest number of reasons which the government used to support his detention. <\/p>\n The nine reasons were listed in the detention order as an annexure titled “Allegations of facts” on which the order is based – a requirement under Section 11 (2) (b) of the ISA.<\/p>\n Other than five seditious speeches, Uthayakumar was accused of organising three illegal assemblies – at the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya, outside Parliament and outside the Attorney-General’s Department – between Nov 2006 to August 2007.<\/p>\n The final reason is his alleged links to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a separatist group in Sri Lanka which has been declared a terrorist organisation by a number of western countries.<\/p>\n Uthayakumar has vehemently denied Hindraf's links to LTTE.<\/p>\n Two other Hindraf leaders detained under ISA – V Ganabatirau and T Vasantha Kumar – had six allegations mentioned in their respective detention orders. <\/p>\n M Manoharan chalked up seven while R Kenghadharan had only three. <\/p>\n The four other detainees were mostly accused of making ‘seditious speeches’ during Hindraf organised public forums<\/b> and taking the movement’s cause overseas<\/b>. <\/p>\n Hearing next week<\/font><\/b> <\/p>\n The five were detained<\/b> under the ISA on Dec 13 based on an order signed by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi under his Internal Security Minister portfolio. <\/p>\n The detainees were immediately sent to the Kamunting Detention Centre to serve their two-year detention. <\/p>\n In a related development, Karpal Singh – counsel for the five Hindraf leaders – today filed habeas corpus applications for Uthayakumar and Vasantha Kumar at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. <\/p>\n The applications follows similar applications<\/b> made by Karpal on behalf of Manoharan and Ganabatirau on Wednesday. <\/p>\n Speaking to reporters later, Karpal said Judicial Commissioner Zainal Azman Abd Aziz would be hearing all four cases next Wednesday. <\/p>\n A habeas corpus application for Kenghadharan would be made on Monday. The move is believed to be a deliberate attempt to disassociate him from Hindraf.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" '9 reasons' to lock up Uthayakumar http:\/\/www.malaysiakini.com\/news\/76298 Andrew Ong | Dec 21, 07 3:50pm Of the five Hindraf leaders detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), P Uthayakumar recorded the highest number of reasons which the government used to support his detention.
