Press Conference 29 July 2009 At Chinese Assembly Hall

Another death in police custody. R.Gunasegaran age 31, who was arrested on the evening of 16 July, 2009 in Sentul. His family members were later informed that Gunasegaran had died on the same day for drug related causes.

The family of the late Gunasrgaran had requested for a copy of the post-mortem report but they were informed that it will take about two months to get a copy of the said report.

The family has since been in contact with eye-witnesses to Gunasegaran’s arrest and detention by the police and has been informed that at the time of his arrest, Gunasegaran was subjected to physical assault by a member of the police force.

Later, he was assaulted by the same police officer but with much greater severity causing Gunasegaran to lose consciousness which he never regained until his death.


More to come...
