Bersih 3.0 in Kuala Lumpur

SUNGAI PETANI, March 24 - Police fired water cannons into a 5,000-strong crowd at an assembly of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) supporters at the Taman Ria Jaya field here last night.

PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was supposed to speak at the assembly which began at 8pm but had to leave the place when the situation turned chaotic.

Yet another display of police doing the work of the ruling party in preventing PKR from being heard.

Post mortem: Kugan died from beating

KUALA LUMPUR (March 3, 2009) : A second post-mortem conducted on A. Kugan who died in police custody revealed 45 injury marks on his body believed to have been caused by beating repeatedly with a blunt object, according to the family lawyer N. Surendran.

Surendran said he received the results of the post-mortem, issued by the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), at 5pm yesterday. The post-mortem team was headed by Dr Prashant N. Samberkar.

"Extensive haemorrhaging was present within the fatty tissues and the muscles of the upper trunk, lower trunk, both upper limbs and both lower limbs. The findings are consistent with injuries on the external surface," Surendran told a news conference here today.

What's next PDRM? Already reeling from poor PR due to it's partisan behaviour in favor of the ruling government. I thought use of such deadly force

"Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue due to muscle damage. The muscle damage may be caused by physical, e.g. crush injury, chemical or biological factors," he said.

The news conference was also attended by Kugan's family members.

Surendran said Kugan's death was the result of injuries to muscle tissues besides other injuries, including to the heart, kidneys, stomach, neck, backbone and legs.

The PDRM (police) faces increasing pressure as the tide of discontent is rising with every incompetent action. They are seen as totally partisan towards the government without any regard for the law they are supposedly upholding.

I thought such use of deadly force is only prevalent in Gaza where the Jews clobber defenseless Palestinians to death. The very same Palestinians who'd gladly wear an explosives vest and blow up as many Jewish man, woman or baby they can find.

Chaos broke out at the Brickfields police station in Kuala Lumpur this morning as the police sprayed chemical-laced water at about 300 supporters of detained Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar.

The supporters were accompanying nine people representing nine states and a relative of Uthayakumar, who intended to lodge police reports alleging that Uthayakumar was denied proper medical attention for his ailment.

300 is too few. Many a despot has been brought down when tens of thousands of citizens marched in the name of freedom. Clearly we see the FRU treat the Hindraf supporters like dogs.

Kulim: A few questions for CID chief

Another stinker from the PDRM (cops)! Six baddies are shot dead. Cops recover a semi-automatic Smith & Wesson 9mm with seven rounds of ammunition and a .38 revolver with five bullets were recovered from the bodies. Do the maths! Two handguns, six men and four women in house. Cops barged into house and I suppose one or two of the suspects fired several shots at cops. Cops return fire and kills ALL six of them. Were three men sharing a gun each? Or it is standard procedure to shoot every male whether they are armed or not. Hell, they could be wearing explosive vests under their shirts you know! No mention of how many shots were fired by cops but I'd say plenty.

Unless a thorough forensic examination is done by an acceptable third party we may never know the truth. Just as in the Kugan case , people have doubts about the integrity of such autopsy reports.

Second post-mortem results very different: lawyer

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 29, 2009): The second post-mortem carried out on lock-up detainee A. Kugan who died in police custody last week is said to differ significantly in its findings.

Lawyer N.Surendran, who is representing the family of the deceased, said today the post-mortem report was not comprehensively ready as several tests are still being done.

He declined to reveal details of the preliminary findings of the post-mortem except that it was significantly different from that conducted initially at the Serdang Hospital soon after Kugan's death. more at The Sun

Why are we not surprised! Let's wait and see what gives.

AG classified Kuhan's death as murder

PUTRAJAYA (Jan 23, 2009) : Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail has classified the case of A. Kuhan who died in police custody on Tuesday as murder, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Deparment T. Murugiah said today.

He said Abdul Gani has instructed the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the death of the 22-year old suspected car thief and has given an assurance that the culprits will be prosecuted, possibly next week.

Certainly one too many death while in police custody incident. Shit always happens to poor people. You don't hear of some bigwig's (datuk's) son dying while under lock-up, do you?Let me refresh your memory . . . . Asian Human Rights Commission

I watched the news and the injuries on Kugan's body is appalling. If the cops did not do it then who? pics, see for yourself. And the funeral procession .
