FREE HINDRAF 5 AND ALL ISA DETAINEES CAMPAIGN...

Thanks to : http://malaysianindian1.blogspot.com/

To: The Prime Minister and Government of Malaysia

No law in Malaysia shames the country or undermines its democratic system of government more than the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows indefinite, arbitrary detention without trial.

The ISA stands out as a barbaric law that goes against all our notions of what law and justice should mean. The ISA is an evil, anti-democratic law that can have no place in a country that upholds the Rule of Law.

The ISA subverts natural justice. Natural justice demands that any person accused of a crime should have the right to due process and to be presumed innocent unless and until he or she is convicted in an independent, open court of law.

Without due process and legal checks and balances, ISA detainees are left at the mercy of their captors. Detainees have complained of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment while under detention.

We therefore call for the immediate repeal of the ISA.

Please write to the Malaysian government and UN to express your protest.
