FAC News - Sunday, June 16, 2002 8:01 AM DAIM & GAMANY Advocates & Solicitors 9th Floor Wisma Yakin Jalan Masjid Fax: 03-26984953 PRESS STATEMENT 15.6.2002 INQUIRY
BY SUHAKAM ON ISA DETAINEES AT KAMUNTING ON
1. Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor 2. Hishamuddin bin Rais 3. Chua Tian Chang 4. Saari bin Sungib 5. Badrulamin bin Bahron 6. Lokman bin Noor Adam are instructed to express their deep concern and disappointment with SUHAKAM for their intention to hold an inquiry restricted solely into their conditions at the Kamunting Detention Centre. They believe such a restricted inquiry will not do justice with regards human rights violation that they have suffered and therefore cannot be regarded as a bona fide investigation. Our clients have understood all along based on SUHAKAM’s own previous statements that it was to hold a public inquiry on their detention which would certainly include the conditions of the first 60 days of their arrest. They have further averred that it is unreal, artificial and in fact an injustice for SUHAKAM not to investigate the events during the first 60 days of their incarceration. Our clients have therefore have instructed us to ask SUHAKAM to reconsider its position i.e. that their inquiry is restricted to the treatment of the detainees at the Kamunting Detention Centre and to widen its inquiry to cover the entire detention. Released by, .......................................... ......................................... SIVARASA RASIAH LATHEEFA KOYA
