High Handed Treatment ---How True is it?

Received suc an email content, it shocked me. Can Malaysia with a government elected by the Rakyat acted so hard on the rakyat that put them into place? How about removing them in the coming General Election with our votes?

Read and see,just wonder how true it is.

UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE 30 ACTIVISTS REMANDED IN PENANGYesterday 30 June 2011, finally after 4 days of pressure, the police finally allowed visitation rights for the family.During this visitation the detainees informed that they were harrased and mentally tortured. Currently the detainees are being questioned intensively by officers from the Police Headquarters in KL ( Bukit Aman)

Among the shocking revelation of the tortures unleashed by the Bukit Aman team is :
Solitary confinement
All the seven detainees in IPK are placed in solitary confinement and we learned that some others at Butterworth and Kepala Batas has since yesterday been placed under solitary confinement.
These practice is illegal and is most commonly used during the first 60 days of ISA torture
These detainees are also interrogated long hours between 9 till 5pm daily
Deny Legal Representatives
In spite being a Constitutional Right – the Right to legal representation - All detainees has been denied their lawyer from meeting them except for the two juveniles in custody.
Denied Medication
Some of those detained have complained that they have been denied medication in spite of their health condition.
Some detainees who need special food due to their health conditions are denied these foods and are given normal foods like other detainees.
Inhumane, Demoralisation and Foul language
Most detainees have complained that the Bukit Aman Team has also employed degrading foul language and are called things like “pariah” and other degrading language.
Some detainees are also forced to stand during the entire interrogation therefore torture and punishments seems to be the order of the day rather than investigation.
Denied Basic Items
Most detainees were denied basic items such as soap and toothpaste and some were only given yesterday, despite the fact that these items were provided by families to the police on Monday to be passed to the detainees.
Denied sufficient drinking water
Most detainees complain that water was only given during meals and not at other times
Some Hindu detainees were also given beef to eat.

Hope it is not true. One of these days, the victims will make onown to the public.
