Undilah PAS : MENENTANG KEZALIMAN & MENEGAKKAN KEADILAN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aliran is outraged at the authorities? move to seal off the home of Anwar?s
wife, Dr Wan Azizah Ismail.
The ISA restriction order slapped on her bars the public, including journalists,
from entering her house.
Only family members and relatives are allowed in.
What crime has Azizah committed for her to be treated so cruelly? What kind of
democracy is this? The
roadblocks near Azizah?s residence may be compared with the checkpoints that
were set up near the
home of Burma?s freedom fighter Aung San Suu Kyi.
Aliran also condemns the ?trial by media? against Anwar. Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad and other
government officials continue to blacken Anwar?s name daily. As a result of his
incarceration without trial
Anwar is unable to defend himself nor can he prepare his defence. He has been
also denied access to his
lawyers.
And all this while, the vicious vilification in the media continues with no
court hearing in sight. Aliran is
concerned about the effects of these daily diatribes on Anwar?s children, who
must be severely
traumatised by now.
We note that Mahathir himself has hit out at the foreign media for tarnishing
the country?s image. ?Tell a
lie many, many times, eventually people will believe it,? he said. By the same
token, Mahathir should ask
the local media to stop publishing unproven allegations against Anwar.
We are also concerned about the personal well-being of Anwar and the others
detained without trial.
>From the testimony of previous ISA victims, we know that many detainees face
long hours of harsh
interrogation under severe duress. ?Confessions? or pleas of guilt extracted
from victims under such
extreme circumstances should be rejected by any independent court of law.
We urge the authorities to release all those detained without trial immediately
or charge them in court. If
they don?t, Malaysian democracy will be the laughing stock of the world.
