Another article on MK:
The mother of Adi Anwar Mansor, 23, has lodged a police report against the police for allegedly abusing her son while he was under police custody.
“He was kicked on his back, hit on the back of his head and hit with a rubber hose until he could not take the pain,” wrote housewife Jiknah Harun, 49, in her police report filed at the Klang district police headquarters this morning.Jiknah said that the details of the assault was related to her by Adi Anwar, who is currently warded at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah hospital, Klang.
“I feel disappointed. Why was my son beaten until he slip into a coma? When I went to see him (on April 8), his face was swollen. As a mother, I feel very sad,” she said.
Meanwhile, a crowd of about 50 people gathered in front of the police station today to show their support for Adi Anwar and Jiknah.
The people comprised mostly of the Makkal Sakhti movement supporters and Pakatan Rakyat coalition party members. Many held placards in front of the police station denouncing the police for allegedly assaulting Adi Anwar.
There you have it, from the horses mouth >:(
I am also very heartened that the Makkal Sakhti people came to show their support and solidarity, demonstrating that theirs is truly a cause that is blind to ethnicity.
Najib, Hisham: we’re still waiting!!

The family of Adi Anwar Mansor, 23, wants the police to explain how he had allegedly drank paint thinner and sustained injuries while he was held under police custody.
Adi Anwar is currently semi-conscious and is under observation at the intensive care unit of the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang.
Mohamad was quoted in the media today as saying that Adi Anwar was arrested for alleged drug possession at about 11.30pm on Tuesday in Jalan Kebun.
The police chief had said that Anwar was near a table at the police station and reached for a bottle containing the poisonous liquid and consumed it before police officers could stop him.
On the injuries sustained by Adi Anwar, Mohamad was reported to have said it could have occurred during the scuffle when he was apprehended.
There is less details as compared to the Kugan case so far I think, but still: drinking thinner?!
What could possess a man to do that? If it wasn’t forced on him, I would speculate that only desperation (perhaps to ‘escape’ torture?) would compel someone to do such a thing.
Once again, the police have some burning questions to answer, and a record to set straight. Their version of the story just doesn’t seem to make sense (again!)
If Mr. Najib wants to be the good PM he says he wants to be, establish the IPCMC now! We need to get to the bottom of this, and ensure that our police are 100% clean from even the suspicion of abuse of their powers.
And Mr. Kerishamuddin, our new Home Minister - Are you going to be another Syed Hamid? Here’s your first test.
