Police Violence Unacceptable Says Lawyer Over Case Involving Youth


 
The youth in question was remanded for four days.PETALING JAYA: After a youth delivering frozen seafood was stopped by plainclothes cops who pointed a gun to his head and allegedly assaulted him, human rights lawyers say police violence cannot be tolerated.
Roger Chan, who chairs a group of human rights lawyers, said the incident which took place in Pahang recently showed how there may have been abuse of power, torture and violence during the arrest and detention of the individual.
“We hope that the law enforcement officers involved will step forward so that the matter can be resolved in an expeditious manner. We also hope that the inspector-general of police will take cognisance of this incident,” Chan said in a virtual press conference today.
The victim, who had permission to travel to deliver frozen seafood, claimed he was driving alone at 2am on Jan 24 along Jalan Muadzam Shah when his car was sandwiched in between two cars occupied by plainclothed police officers. One of them fired a warning shot into the air and pointed a gun at him as a signal to stop by the roadside.
The police allegedly forced him out of his car and demanded to know “where is the lorry”, before punching and kicking the 21-year-old victim when he claimed he had no knowledge of what they were talking about.
The victim also claimed he was taken on a terror ride to a jungle, where three to four policemen continued to assault and question him on the lorry, with one holding a gun to his temple.
He was eventually arrested and brought to the Muadzam Shah police station, where he was remanded for four days on suspicion that he was linked to a syndicate involved in smuggling cigarettes.
Chan said there was sufficient proof of the unlawful discharge of a firearm, as the officer in possession of the pistol would have to account for a missing bullet in their chamber.
“Our client is prepared to face any consequences if he had not told the truth but will only cooperate with an independent police investigation into the criminal and civil liabilities of the police officers concerned,” he said.
Fahan Maaruf, one of the lawyers representing the victim, said they were informed of the case at the last minute and were unable to reach the Pekan Magistrates’ Court before a remand order was issued.
The youth was then charged by the Rompin Magistrates’ Court on Jan 27 under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of his public functions, as well as Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.
He pleaded not guilty to both charges and requested for a trial.
“Under Section 28 of the Criminal Procedure Code, those arrested must be given the chance to consult a lawyer and inform their family on the arrest. Where were these rights when he was arrested?” Maaruf asked.
He added that the victim had claimed three other lorries were inspected on the night of his assault, but all were allowed to pass.
Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah and Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) executive director Sevan Doraisamy, who were also present at the press conference, said there must be transparency in the investigation of the case.
They also urged the government to expedite the tabling of the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) Bill, to monitor future police misconduct. - FMT
