前两天，英国国会以多数票拒绝首相布莱尔提呈延长怀疑涉及恐怖活动的人士，可被无审讯拘留至90天的法案，否决他的法案者甚至来自布莱尔本身的劳工党的议员。看到电视新闻里身为一国之相的布莱尔，在英国国会的一片呜声中极力为他所提呈的法案辩护，心里好不羡慕英国议会的民主，以及英国国会议员对人身自由权的重视。

如果马来西亚首相在国会提呈这样的法案，它应该会很迅速很顺利的在国会通过，因为我国国会既然能在数十年前便通过让政府可以国家安全为由而无审讯拘留的内安法令，那么大马国会哪儿会拒绝区区90天无审讯拘留的法令呢？

在我国，无审讯拘留经常都发生在警局的拘留所里。上个星期开斋节期间，我接到一个党员的投诉，说他朋友的中国籍太太在双溪毛儒区警方设路障时被警方拘留，因为警方怀疑她所持的是假护照。次日，为夫者持大马注册结婚证书到警局去，警方还是不愿释放她，理由是一纸婚书并不能证明她是合法入境的。反而，负责拘留的警官则极力暗示如果他们“付钱”，以使他的太太能很快的获得释放。我那位充满正义感的党员在警局里看到许多被拘留者的亲戚在拘留所外的金钱交易，气得他彻夜难眠。 (more…)

Slapped, stripped naked and detained for several days. This was the alleged ordeal endured by a Chinese national at the hands of the police after being accused of possessing a fraudulent passport.

The 35-year-old homemaker, who wanted to be known only as Zhen, was travelling in a car with four friends, one lady who is also a Chinese national and three men who were Malaysians, to a party when they were stopped at a police roadblock in Sungai Buloh last Thursday night.

“We showed them our passports but the police personnel said they suspected these were fake passports,” said Zhen, who has been married to a Malaysian contractor since 2001.

“Although I don’t understand Malay, but from their gestures, I knew they asked for RM500. Otherwise we will be arrested,” she told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

Thinking she had nothing to fear since she had a genuine passport, Zhen refused to pay them. This proved to be a mistake.

Zhen and her female friend were immediately handcuffed and taken to the Sungai Buloh police station.

“At the police station, I saw a few more women from mainland China detained as well. They were also accused of having fake passports. (more…)

Police made me strip, says Chinese national
BY PARVEEN GILL

PETALING JAYA: A 35-year-old housewife claimed she was forced to strip at a police station in Sungai Buloh, and that several policemen and policewomen there had also taken her money.

This alleged incident and a complaint by a remisier that an investigating officer at the district police headquarters here had asked for a bribe surfaced barely a week after all police contingents were supplied with button badges against graft.

I called a press conference yesterday to highlight the plight of a woman from China, Yu Xuezhen who is legally married to a Malaysian.

On Thursday (Nov 3) night, at or about 11pm, she and her mate, a Chinese citizen holding a passport from China, were arrested by police near Kepong/Sungai Buloh.

The police officers saw them holding Chinese passport and hinted them to pay bribe. Yu and her friend thought that since they were holding genuine China passport, they need not pay bribe. They, five other Chinese women and two Indonesian women, were arrested and brought to the Sungai Buloh police station. They were transferred to the PJ police station at around 6am. (more…)
