JUSTICE

To all the viewers......

Dear Viewers,

The objective of Our Human Rights is to motivate people to take positive and peaceful action in support of human rights. Programs highlight how human rights abuses impact us all, and how we can do something about it.

We believe that supporting human rights is patriotic and thus everyone should take part and share the views and values. We believe that every person can make a difference. We believe that you can make a difference too.

The only way that human rights can be effectively protected is by respecting the principle that every individual possesses certain inherent fundamental rights that cannot be taken away – not even in the name of “the common good”, states of emergency, national security, or religious or other ideals. Otherwise none of us is really safe. We cannot defend principles and ideals by actions which undermine them.

Our intention must be genuine, acceptable and rational.

So all the comments must be based on Justice and Human Rights.

I would welcome any comments, any postings or and ideas regarding whatever happening through out the world as long it touches the topic of Justice & Human Rights.

Any comments please send to my email id at stands4justice@gmail.com

The suspects, detained by police in Batu Caves on Nov 25, claimed trial to various charges including taking part in an illegal assembly and causing damage to public property during the tense proceedings tinged with racial overtones.

They were also charged with using criminal force on a policeman with intent to cause death.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail himself led the prosecution team.

Seventeen lawyers appeared for the defence.

Three volunteer lawyers from the Bar Council for the defence discharged themselves after one of them, Rajpal Singh, disagreed with Hindraf lawyer P. Uthayakumar’s racial slant.

Judge Azimah Omar told the defence lawyers not to be emotional
