Hindu American Foundation Condemns Heavy Hand of Malaysian Government Against Protesting Hindus

Washington, DC (November 21, 2007). The Malaysian Government has sought to thwart with a heavy hand a planned November 25, 2007 protest organized by the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF). The protesters intend to march to the British High Commission in order to submit a petition to the High Commissioner. The petition refers to the class action suit filed by the Malaysian Indian community against the Government of the United Kingdom for its failure to protect the minority Indian community’s rights when it drafted the Malaysian Constitution 50 years ago. In anticipation of the protest, HINDRAF leaders were arrested for “sedition,” a charge that should be dismissed as far-fetched, harassing, and intimidating. Malaysian Hindu activists have reported that water canons will be used to disperse the crowds. The Malaysia Indian Congress has been forced to disavow any relationship with HINDRAF, which leaves the police free to use brute force against the protesters. Reports of road blocks all over Kaula Lumpur, and the turning away of bus loads of people coming from throughout Malaysia are indications of the repressive tactics used by Malaysian authorities. Police and intelligence services have been checking text messages on cell phones for suspicious activity, and police are also closing a monorail train which passes by the British High Commission.
The planned protest is also in response to the October 30, 2007 demolition of the 100-year-old Maha Mariamman Temple in Padang Jawa by Malaysian authorities. Following that demolition, Works Minister and head of the Malaysian Indian Congress Samy Vellu, who is of Indian origin, said that Hindu temples built on government land were still being demolished despite his appeals to the various state chief ministers. According to Mr. Vellu, the Hindu community had no choice in the past but to build their temples on government-owned land, as they did not own any land of their own to build the temples.
“It is once again evident that Malaysian authorities do not care for minority rights, and their ire is targeted against Hindus who constitute an important bulwark to an authoritarian Islamic state. It is also a sad commentary that the nations of the world are ignoring what is a serious breach of human rights and minority rights,” said Ramesh Rao, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Hindu American Foundation.

Your Excellency Dato’ Ghazzali bin Sheikh Abdul Khalid:
I write to protest the destruction of Hindu temples by Malaysian state government officials, and your government’s refusal to allow Hindus to protest such temple destruction. These actions by your government targeting the minority Hindu community are an unfortunate reminder to the world of the serious threat to human rights of minorities in Malaysia.
Some of the Hindu/Indian leaders who were spearheading the effort to protest government action have been arrested on the grounds of sedition. Reuters reports that “Malaysian police swooped on Friday (November 23) on organizers of a planned protest by minority ethnic Indians, arresting them for sedition and warning of racial strife if the rally went ahead as planned at the weekend” (http://tinyurl.com/2oan9y). Hindu Americans take strong exception to such provocative police action and deem it an assault on the human rights of minorities in Malaysia.
We urge you to allow the gathering of Malaysian Hindus on November 25, 2007 to submit a petition to the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. The petition refers to the class action lawsuit filed by the Malaysian Indian community against the Government of the United Kingdom for its failure to protect the minority Indian community’s rights when it drafted the Constitution of Malaysia 50 years ago.
Unfortunately, your government restricts Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association contrary to Article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and Article 10 of the Malaysian Federal Constitution. Consequently, the application filed by Malaysian Indians to hold gatherings was arbitrarily rejected by the police.
Your government has also tried to suppress a campaign launched by a Non-Governmental Organization, the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF) to obtain 100,000 signatures in support of a civil suit against the Government of the United Kingdom. HINDRAF has accused your officials of intimidating and instilling fear in the Indian community. The intimidating tactics of your officials include the following:
a) Threat of arrest under the draconian Internal Security Act.
b) Threat to demolish temples (if gatherings are held in the temples).
c) Threat of arrest and criminal prosecution of venue owners for aiding in holding events.
d) Sealing of temples and all access roads leading to the temples.
e) Placing hundreds of riot police fully armed near the temple premises, etc.
We urge you to pay heed to the urgent calls of the Hindu minority community. Temple destruction should be stopped forthwith, and a high-level committee should be set up to systematically deal with issues relating to land on which temples stand, and to the rights of Hindus to worship at their temples. The public protest by Malaysian Hindus on Sunday, November 25, 2007 should not be thwarted.
Finally, we urge you to drop sedition charges against the HINDRAF leaders and release Mr. Waytha Moorthy from prison immediately.
Sincerely,
Member, Hindu American Foundation
