THIS MAIL IS BEING SENT ON BEHALF OF MR WAYTHA MOORTHY - R.Shan
PRESS STATEMENT 7.3.09
P.Waythamoorthy had undergone an emergency angioplasty at a heart centre in London on March 2, 2009. During the said procedure, the cardiologist had found that he has a very rare heart condition known as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
Doctors who treated Waytha Moorthy has found that he has a heart muscle disorder as a result of scar tissue and fatty formations and serious rhythm disturbance which in most cases can lead to ventricular fibrillation or sudden death. The progressive loss of muscle lead to thinning of the ventricular wall, dilation, and pump dysfunction. The above conditions are due to stress.
We can now confirm today that the Hospital has scheduled Monday 9th March 2009 as the date of the operation. He has been advised that he run the risk of complications during the said procedure which includes cardiac arrest, puncture of the heart and other related complications.
(Upon the request of family members, we are withholding the name of the hospital and urge his friends in the UK to understand his request for privacy).
In lieu of the risky heart operation that P.Waythamoorthy would undergo, and the subsequent need for him to be cared by his family member and loved ones, we call upon the Malaysian government to urgently and immediately address the following issues;
a. The Malaysian government to issue a new Malaysian passport to replace the revoked passport to P. Waytha Moorthy and this to be made available for him or his representative to collect from the Malaysian High Commission in London.
b. The Malaysian government guarantees the safe return of P.Waythamoorthy to allow him to recuperate with his family members and loved ones.
c. The Malaysian government guarantees that P.Waythamoorthy will not be subjected to any arrest, harassment or charges upon his return including under those under ISA.
d. The Malaysian government’s assurance and guarantee that he will be allowed to return to London for follow up checks and possible further operations.
e. Lastly, the Malaysian government’s unconditional guarantee that his life will be protected from any form of persecution upon his return and no harm shall befall him.
Thank you.
