‘Mr ISA’ in the dock at mock trial
(Malaysiakini, 23/10/2007) ‘Mr ISA’ will go on trial on Saturday to answer for atrocities against those detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) under the police sweep code-named Operasi Lalang.
Politicians, activists, educationists, social workers, trade unionists, environmentalists and church workers were among 106 people rounded up over a week from Oct 27, 1987.
Human rights watchdog Suaram said Malaysians “will be the judge for the first time in a People’s Hearing” on the mass arrests and detention without trial.
The mock trial will be held on Saturday - the 20th anniversary of Operasi Lalang - at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Asssembly Hall from 9am. (Full story)
