PMs STATEMENT ON TREATMENT OF IRAQI PRISONERS WELCOME
PLEASE ACT IMMEDIATELY ON BRUTALITY IN OUR OWN BACKYARD
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (Peoples Justice Party) is pleased to note that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad has appropriately criticized the United States and Britain over the inhumane and brutal treatment of Iraqi prisoners. Abdullah is reported in the media today as having said yesterday that, There is no excuse for what happened. We cannot accept it and there is no justification at all .
Abdullah is also reported to have urged, The US and Britain must act immediately to stop such treatment. They must identify those responsible and take action against them.
Well said Mr. Prime Minister! But are you going to do anything about the brutal and inhuman treatment of Malaysian prisoners by the Malaysian police under your own ministry? Your criticisms of the US and Britain will sound hollow if you do not follow them up with appropriate actions on happenings behind our own backyard.
This year two persons have died while under police custody. One person, Francis G Udayappan disappeared after being arrested and questioned by the police. The police claimed he had escaped from custody, but his family members are convinced that he has died and that the police are trying to cover up the truth on the circumstances of his death.
Last year 18 persons were reported to have died while in prison or under police custody. There is an estimate that the number of prisoners who have died while in custody over the last few years is roughly one in every two weeks. Neither the police nor the Home Security Ministry has denied these figures.
Of course we are not enumerating here cases of police violence during peaceful demonstrations and during interrogations of all types of detainees.
I wish to echo strongly what Abdullah has correctly urged the US and Britain to do, by similarly urging strongly that the government he leads must act immediately to stop such treatment (and) identify those responsible and take
action against them.
To repeat his advise to the US and Britain, Abdullah must not wash off (his) guilt and that he must show (his) commitment in holding human rights of . prisoners.
Please walk your talk Datuk Seri!
