Anwar's daughter makes plea to UN rights panel
By JOHN ZAROCOSTAS IN GENEVA
THE daughter of jailed former Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim has made a plea to the UN Human Rights Commission here to help
solve the injustices in her country.
"The truth is, there is no other place left to seek mercy when we
cannot expect justice from the national institutions meant to protect
our rights," 19-year-old Ms Nurul Izzah Anwar told the 53-member
Commission on Wednesday evening.
"Tiada lagi tempat untuk mengadu apabila institusi perlembagaan negara
yg sepat
utnya melindungi rakyat tidak dapat diharapkan ..."
"The injustices perpetrated in Malaysia have turned us into human
rights activists because we cannot ignore what is happening to our
beloved country," an emotional Ms Anwar added.
She said her father was a political prisoner and that "his prosecution
(under the penal code) is a means of political persecution".
At the end of her presentation, Ms Anwar, who took the floor to speak
on behalf of the Bangkok-based Asian Cultural Forum for Development,
also circulated a message from her father from Sungai Buloh prison.
"As a victim of gross injustice, including physical assault at the
hands of Malaysia's police chief, I appeal to the Commission to step
up its work against human rights violations in my country and
everywhere else," Anwar said in his message to the Commission.
"When we declared our independence and sovereignty more than 40 years
ago, we affirmed our commitment to the principles of liberty and
justice. However, we have since seen our country regress into a police
state and arrogant authoritarianism," he added.
Meanwhile, a joint report by four influential legal organisations
released on Wednesday concluded that in the vast majority of cases
that appeared before the courts, there was no complaint about the
independence of the judiciary.
But it stressed that in cases, however, which were considered of
political or economic importance to the executive, there were serious
concerns that the judiciary was not independent.
The report also expressed "serious concern" about the fairness of
Anwar's trial and the independence and impartiality of the trial
judge.
It also emphasised the use of contempt proceedings against lawyers
practising their profession as a serious obstacle to the ability of
lawyers to render their services freely.
