Kepada
YAB Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak
Perdana Menteri Malaysia
YAB Dato’ Seri,
Bebaskan YB Manoharan dan Tahanan ISA Yang Lain
Kami yang menurunkan tandatangan di bawah ini ingin menuntut supaya YB Manoharan, ADUN Kota Alam Shah di Selangor dibebaskan daripada tahanan ISA.
Kami berpendapat bahawa ISA merupakan satu undang-undang yang lapuk dan amat tidak berperikemanusiaan. Kami juga berpendapat penahanan YB Manoharan di bawah ISA adalah amat tidak adil kerana beliau hanya merupakan peguambela kepada pemimpin Hindraf yang ditahan oleh polis sahaja dan beliau memang tidak melanggar sebarang undang-undang.

The police moved in to disperse a group of people who had gathered at a field in Ampang Jaya for the launch of an anti-ISA campaign and arrested nine people including a parliamentarian.
Among those who were arrested for allegedly failing to disperse was Salahuddin Ayub, PAS member of parliament for Kubang Kerian.
Police light strike force unit started dispersing the crowd – numbering less than 100 – at about 9.26pm just as PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu started to address the crowd.
By about 10pm, the police managed to remove the people from the field, with the assistance of a heavy downpour.

Speech by Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan, President, Malaysian Bar: Let Right Be Done
(Published Friday, 29 August 2008 01:17pm )
So much is said about justice, truth, and the Rule of Law. Today, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, these words come alive.
An English play entitled “The Winslow Boy” by Terence Rattigan tells of a 13-year old boy in the early 1900s, wrongly expelled from the Royal Naval College for allegedly stealing a postal order from a fellow cadet. The College refused to review its decision. The boy’s only hope was to set forth his request for an open trial in a “Petition of Right” which was presented to the King. King Edward VII signed the boy’s “Petition of Right” in May 1909, writing the immortal words: “Let Right Be Done”. A few days into the trial it was accepted that the boy was innocent and the family was paid compensation.
Powerful words, “Let Right Be Done”. This is why Mr. Yeo Yang Poh, the immediate past President of the Malaysian Bar, called upon the Government in 2006 to review the 1988 Judicial Crisis. He said:
It is, quite simply, a question of seeking the truth. Are we not interested in the truth? Can we afford not to be? Is the Malaysian society not entitled to the truth?
He also said: Continue reading ‘Launch of the Report of the Panel of Eminent Persons to Review the 1988 Judicial Crisis in Malaysia’
