Peaceful Vigil Turned Ugly

On the 11 January 2010, lawyer Mr.Francis Peirera asked Hakim Mahkamah Puan Balqis Hini to recuse herself from the hearing over the 23 peaceful vigilers arrested on 09 November 2008. Lawyer Mr. Gobind Singh Deo concurred.

Today, the 23 people “accused” of defiance have their case postponed to 3rd.June in PJ Session Court instead.

The overzealous police arrested them on the 09 November 2008 was a clear act of intimidation to create fear among the people who exercised their democratic rights.
