UMNO is trying very hard to silence Uthayakumar - they cannot stand the truth he speaks

Media Statement (4/11/2009)

Kg Medan: “biased” Judge dismisses P. Uthayakumar’s “ethnic cleansing”
documents application.

This morning the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Civil Court No 4 “biased” Judge
(but assigned to hear P. Uthayakumar’s criminal case) Sabariah Osman
dismissed the applications made by P. Uthayakumar’s lawyers N. Surendran
and M. Manogar as follows:-

1)The first Information Report, all police reports, the Investigation
papers, pictures etc of the Kg Medan racial attacks and the victims
thereto.
2)The minutes containing the reasons as to why the UMNO government had
refused to hold a Royal Commission of Inquiry despite this Kg Medan racial attacks being the worst case of human rights violations in the history of Malaysia.
3)The minutes containing the reasons as to why even the Malaysian Human
Rights Commission (Suhakam) had refused to hold an Inquiry into this Kg
Medan racial attacks. Even the High Court dismissed a Kg Medan victim,
Subramaniam’s application for a Suhakam Inquiry without even the UMNO
government having to reply in their Afidavit in reply the real facts, the truth and the very serious allegations of state (UMNO) sponsored violence against the innocent working class Indians of Kg Medan.
4)The White Paper on Kg Medan which UMNO had promised to submit to
Parliament.
5)The Attorney General’s minutes as to why he had not seriously
prosecuted the criminals for the five cold blooded murders in Kg Medan and the injuries and grievous bodily injuries caused to the innocent Indians in Kg Medan.

“Berani kerana benar, takut kerana salah” is the reason why UMNO the
police and the Attorney General are frightened to hand over and reveal
these documents.

Despite these documents being required to defend the very serious P.
Uthayakumar’s charges of especially the Kg Medan “ethnic cleansing”
allegations where five Indians were murdered in cold blood and in broad
daylight and 100 over innocent Malaysian Indians were caused injuries and grievous bodily injuries, many before the very eyes of the police force who had watched over silently this “blood letting” Why?

Article 8 of the Federal Constitution not only provides for equality
before the law but also for equal protection before the law. But this
seems to have no place in UMNO’s Malaysia.

P. Uthayakumar is prepared to face the maximum three years jail term for
this charge knowing that by this jail sentence, UMNO would not further
dare repeat this sort of their Kg Medan racial attacks in future
especially so when the world has started watching Malaysia after P.
Uthayakumar’s “ethnic cleansing” letter to British Prime Minister Gordon
Brown dated 15/11/2007.

Outside the Courtroom lawyer N. Surendran told reporters that he would be filing an appeal against this “biased” Judge’s decision to the Kuala
Lumpur High Court.

This “biased” Judge in her haste and perhaps under “orders” from UMNO all the way wants to speedily convict and sentence up to three years jail to instill fear and silence P. Uthayakumar and also so that he is
disqualified from standing for the 2012/2013 General elections.

This Judge insisted on a five day in a row “speedy gonzalez” hearing date right next month despite lawyer N. Surendran informing the court that his diary is full for December and that it was the new Chief Justices’ policy directive that lawyers should not park two cases in one day. This Judge then grudgingly fixed the 13th to 15th of January 2010 as the next hearing dates. Hopefully not to “fix up” P. Uthayakumar!

“Justice hurried is justice buried” and “justice must not only be done but must manifestedly and undoubtedly be seen to be done”.

But UMNO follows neither the law nor the Federal Constitution at least in this case.
