A message from jail — Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj
July 07, 2011
JULY 7 — I would like to thank everyone who is supporting us by the hours, prayers, urgent appeals etc.
The 6 of us have not broken any laws and our crime is that we are socialists and we are attempting to put the issues affecting the poorer 60 per cent of Malaysians in the national agenda. eg. Hospital privatisation, minimum wage and decent wages.
Our detention is totally unwarranted and we are working within the democratic framework.
“Udahlah bersaralah“ campaign which involves pamphlet distribution and awareness calls for people to think properly for the General Election.
The action and activity is totally within the democratic space allowed by Constitution.
Sad to see, higher ups in police unable to differentiate national and constitutional rights from the political party in power.
Stand up for democratic rights and let us not allow this kind of intimidation hold us back.
* Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj is the Sungai Siput MP and is currently detained with 5 others under the Emergency Ordinance. His arrest is related to his involvement with the upcoming Bersih rally.
