RE:  1.         RACIALLY MOTIVATED DENIAL OF BAIL FOR 31
HINDRAF SUPPORTERSÂ BY MALAYSIAN COURTS.
2.               ATTORNEY GENERAL’S APPEAL AGAINST 3 HINDRAF LAWYERS BEING DISCHARGED BY KLANG COURT AT SHAH ALAM HIGH COURT TOMORROW 7-12-2007 AT 9.00A.M.
______________________________________________________________
We are totally appalled at the racially motivated decision of the Shah Alam Sessions Court today in completely denying bail to 31 peaceful Hindraf assemblers / worshippers made against the rule of law who were merely attending prayers at the holiest Hindu temple at Batu Caves Kuala Lumpur on the following grounds:-
1.                The denying of bail to the 31 peaceful assemblers / worshippers were without basis, maliciously, vindictively and on a racist basis against the mere 8% ethnic minority Malaysian Indians prosecuted (on trumped up charges) with on amongst others attempted murder and today the racially motivated denial of bail by the Malaysian courts.
(Note on racism: In all 7 the Bersih rally on 10-11-2007, Batu Burok rally, two toll hike rallies, two petrol hike rallies, the rally by Khairy Jamaluddin against Coudoleza Rice’s visit to Malaysia there has been no remands and no denying of bail like for the Hindraf peaceful assembly.
2.                Malaysian Prime Minister Badawi and Attorney General’s racist prosecution and denying bail to peaceful assemblers / worshippers exercising their Constitutional Rights further to Article 10 (Right to assemble peacefully) and Article 11 of the Federal Constitution (Right to freedom of worship) of the Federal Constitution.
3.                Appeal to Shah Alam high court to grant bail to all 31 peaceful assemblers to be filed on 7.12.2007.
4.                Malaysian Courts independence interfered with by Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail and Prime Minister Badawi.
5.                Black day for justice and the rule of law in Malaysia.
6.                Ethnic minority Indians being made scapegoats (by bail being denied) to send a clear message to the Bersih and malay muslim Opposition parties, NGOs’ etc to stop their peaceful assemblies. Also to fish for the 60% malay / muslim voters now that Hindraf “has been punished”. If the malay muslims are denied bail and sent to jail UMNO would be putting to risk the 60% malay / muslims voters.
7.                This UMNO political move in denying the 31 bail will consolidate their 60% malay muslim voters and are prepared to risk the 8% ethnic Indian voters in UMNO’s best interest and UMNO’s political expediency.
8.                Families broke down and openly cried at these injustices. One mother fainted on hearing this decision. Many openly hurled insults at the Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail for being racist and acting against public interest.
9.                In the coming days we expect further crackdown, persecution and racist and malicious prosecutions.
10.            The hearing of Attorney General’s appeal against 3 Hindraf Lawyers being discharged by Klang Court at Shah Alam High Court is fixed for tomorrow 7-12-2007 at 9.00A.M.
We hereby once again call upon the racist UMNO regime to stop their racist persecution and prosecution, marginalisation and permanent colonialisation of the ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia. We have exhausted all legal and diplomatic avenues locally over the last ten years.
(Note: Hundreds of letters, memorandums, appeals etc sent to the Prime Minister and the Malaysian authorities are in www.policewatchmalaysia.com).
We hereby send an urgent S.O.S call to the United Nations Secretary General, Foreign governments and the international community to intervene to stop the crackdown, persecution and the racist, malicious and vindictive prosecution of the ethnic minority Indians in Malaysia.
Thank You,
Yours Faithfully

We complain of Indians in Malaysia, who are not treated well in Malaysia.
What about Indians treated like third grade citizens in India?
Anti-dowry law 498A IPC is non-bailable and cognisable.
One line of false complaint by unscrupulous daughter-in-law makes the entire
extended family of husband arrested without any enquiry, verification or investigation.
After they are arrested then the unscrupulous woman and corrupt Indian Police in collusion
negotiate money to make it compoundable and take the complaint back.
This Extortion usually ranges from 5 lakhs to several crores depending as many people are named in complaint.There are fake extortion rackets as warned by USA and Canadian Governments.
Every 2 minutes a man is falsely implicated in a dowry case.
But after the trial it is prove that the case was false and media does not
report that 98% of the cases have been prove false in courts.
This is disgusting abuse of Indian Citizens, by their own Government in India,
Why to talk about Malaysia and the sovereign Government of Malaysia ?
These are statistics from National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) :-
Every 3 minutes a senior citizen is arrested on a false dowry case.
Every 4 minutes a man is forced to commit suicide due to family problems, such
as domestic abuse of wife ( threat of using dowry laws to arrest him and his family.
450 minor children were falsely arrested in dowry case last year.
1500 people over 85 years were arrested last year on false dowry case.
Why is this abuse going on and government is unable to do anything?
Shame on Indian Govt for mistreating their own citizens of India.
