It’s not just doctors in Malaysia who are clamouring for Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj’s immediate release. Now the global *People’s Health Movement* has added its voice to the demand.

We have heard that due to ill health, Dr Kumar has been moved to hospital. Dr Kumar, who has been involved with People’s Health Movement since our inception, is well respected for his contributions to public health and social justice. Since completing medical school, Dr Kumar has spent significant time working in some of the most remote rural areas, working tirelessly to bring services to the poor and marginalised and to address the structural and social determinants of health. He has also worked on a number of national initiatives to improve equitable access of health services to the poor. Given Dr Kumar’s standing in the community and his professionalism and commitment in serving and bringing health services to all people of Malaysia, we feel it imperative that the authorities expedite his release, together with the other five people who remain in detention. Furthermore, as co-health-workers, we are deeply concerned about further adverse effect the arrest and detention will have on Dr Kumar’s health.

The Nazis got these lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.* * * *http://saynotoaadhaar.blogspot.com/* *http://aadhararticles.blogspot.com/* *http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1*< http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
