Detention Without Trial: The Ultimate Obscenity

Detention Without Trial: The Ultimate Obscenity

If you thought Bung Mukhtar was obscene, well, this is even more so. This is the epitome of the BN/Umno's obscene rule.


The above is a picture (I scanned from Harakah) of ISA detainee Shahrial Sirin, detained for 7 years and counting, WITHOUT TRIAL, touching his eldest's daughter Aina Mardhiah's face for the last time as soon as he arrived from Kamunting, Perak at Sg Serai, Hulu Langat, at 9.40pm, on the 3rd of July.

The authorities intentionally delayed the decision to allow him to return home to visit his daughter who was in a coma at the Kajang Hospital after falling at her dilapidated house on the 2nd of July.

Aina died 3 1/2 hours before her father arrived.


Above is a picture of the father forced to say goodbye to his one of the remaining four children after burying his daughter...forced to go back to detention so soon after.

His wife Fatma is a strong woman. I can only imagine what she is forced to go through. And her kids...

I can't write anymore. I am crying. I feel really sad at the continually injustices being perpetrated on our fellow human beings... I know many of these detainees' wives, some even if just as acquaintances, and I am sorry I have not made the time to visit them.

Two of them are teachers at my kids' school. Norlaila, is outspoken, going all out in her pursuit to abolish the ISA. Her husband Mat Sah has been detained for over seven years too, and was recently handed another 2 year unjust extension without trial. Another teacher, just prefers to leave it to Allah SWT and His justice, and does not wish to come out in the open. She is a jovial woman on the outside. On the inside, only Allah knows. My daughter came home one day, and told me, "Umi, I saw Cikgu J praying dhuha in the library, and she started crying badly...she didn't know I was in the room...I am so sad, Umi."

What can we do too, but pray. Pray that Allah metes out His Justice to the past and present unjust leaders and helps to us bring change for the better to this country.

Please doa for Aina's family. They need it.

Aina is the one on the right...her mother's "tongkat" as her mum put it...she was among the brightest students in her school, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dusun Nanding..

Words fail me at this very moment. A man is denied visitation rights to be with his dying daughter.
Is this how they treat those who disagree and dissent? Is this how they treat a fellow human being who
is obviously aching to be with a suffering love one?

Is this how they to 'rehabilitate' them? To break their spirit second by second. To make them cynical
and bitter against the dreams that are good? Keep breaking them down with every possible malice and cruelty? Then they finally relent and cop-out. It's a tactic no better than those of Hitler or Stalin.

Keep this country in your prayers, people. We definitely need it.
