| Karpal: Anwar Treated Like An Animal During Lockup Posted: 28 Feb 2011 11:20 PM PST From Malaysian Insider Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyers claimed today that their client was detained under squalid conditions during an overnight stay at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters in 2008. Anwar (picture) was arrested on July 16, 2008 and was brought to the KL police headquarters where he spent the night in a lockup cell, and was released at 12.30pm the next day. "The lockup is like being in an animal barnyard (kandang binatang.) Can you confidently say that even the toilet, is it in good condition?" said Karpal during cross-examination of DSP Yahya Abdul Rahman today. The policeman, who had escorted Anwar that night to the lockup along with investigating officer DSP Jude Pereira admitted the conditions of the holding cell was far from satisfactory. He however attributed the poor conditions of the lockup to the entire condition of the police headquarters. "Its an old building…that is why it was not in satisfying condition," said the witness. He also claimed to have forgotten who had instructed him to put Anwar in the lockup. Karpal: who ordered you to put Anwar in lockup? ?Yahya: I'm not sure…Jude and I we were both ordered by our superiors. Yahya also testified that the close-circuit television in the lockup area had not been functioning for a "long time" and had been that way ever since he began working there. Yahya had been attached with the KL police headquarters since February 23, 2008. Anwar's lawyers wasted no time in attacking the police officer, claiming that Anwar's health concerns were not addressed during his overnight detention. "So no bed, nothing? That is standard for lockups nationwide? You knew he had back pain, but did not supply (him) with blankets," shot Karpal from across the courtroom. Yahya in turn calmly responded that it was standard practice for all police lockups and that no lockups in Malaysia issued pillows to detainees. The trial will resume again this afternoon. The complainant in Anwar's sodomy trial, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan had complained that Anwar had sodomised him at a luxury condominium in upper-class Bukit Damansara here on June 26, 2008. Saiful, now aged 25, has never named anyone else. Anwar, the 63-year-old PKR de facto leader, is currently facing sodomy charges for the second time in his life. He has denied the charge, describing it as "evil, frivolous lies by those in power" when the charge was read out to him. He is charged under section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years' jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial is taking place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008. He was charged with sodomy and corruption in 1998 after he was sacked from the Cabinet and was later convicted and jailed for both offences. He was freed in September 2004 and later resurrected his political career by winning back his Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat in a by-election in 2008, which had been held in the interim by his wife. He led the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat, to a historic sweep of five states and 82 parliamentary seats in Election 2008. |
