‘Treat Uthaya or face protests’- Malaysiakini
Friends and supporters of detained Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar has warned that the authorities would be faced with street demonstrations should the latter not be given proper medical attention.
“If anything happens to Uthayakumar, the Malaysian Indians won’t keep quiet. We will fight (for his treatment),” Kapar MP S Manikavasagam told a press conference in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur today.
For a start, Manikavasagam said that should Uthayakumar not be given any proper treatment within a week, “hundreds” of police reports against the authorities would be lodged on Feb 28.
Uthayakumar, a diabetic, has broken several toes on his left foot on Jan 31 while in the Kamunting Detention Camp.
According to his fiancee S Indra Devi, the swelling is worsening by the day and she fears that he may eventually have to amputate his foot.
“His ankle and feet is getting darker and the swelling is now an inch thicker than when he was in court (on Feb 3),” said Indra Devi, who visited Uthayakumar in Kamunting on Feb 14.
Authorities trying to ‘finish off’ Uthaya
She expressed disappointment that despite having visited the Kuala Lumpur and Taiping general hospital, he was not admitted and given proper treatment for dubious reasons.
“In the Kuala Lumpur general hospital, the doctor claimed he could not be admitted because there were no available beds,” she said.
While in the Taiping general hospital, Indra Devi claims that doctors said that Uthayakumar’s condition will “heal by itself” and he would have to return for check-ups in three weeks.
Indra Devi urged the authorities to allow Uthayakumar to seek treatment in a private hospital because she believed that the public hospitals were easily pressured by the police.
Another speaker at the press conference, Teluk Intan MP M Manogaran accused the authorities of knowingly endangering Uthayakumar’s health.
He claimed that Kamunting Detention Camp authorities were including excessive sugar in Uthayakumar’s meals, despite knowing that the latter was diabetic.
“The refusal of the police and prison authorities to provide him proper treatment, and not removing sugar from his diet, shows that the authorities are trying to finish him off in detention,” said Manogaran.
