A delegation from Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) came to Parliament this afternoon to update Opposition MPs on the latest development at our own Guantanamo? at Kamunting.

According to GMI, 23 ISA detainees have had their third detention order issued and they are now serving their FIFTH year in detention without trial.

Our attention was drawn to a feature at the Amnesty International’s website (http://web.amnesty.org/pages/stoptorture-220306-features-eng) entitled “Another Guantanamo in Malaysia?”

Interestingly, our Prime Minister is demanding that the US shut down Guantanamo. Oh why, when his government is still operating Kamunting for indefinite detention without trial and torturing some detainees with solitarity confinement.

I visited Kamunting last year with the Parliamentary Human Rights Caucus and saw for myself conditions there.

I must say and say it again: Charge them or Release them, but do not detain them indefinately!

Pak Lah can see Guantanamo thousand miles away, what about Kamunting right under his nose?
