Again, the MALAYSIAN police - and the need for CCTV (with recording abilities) is again highlighted...
Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said there were no cameras in the room and statements were being recorded from police personnel on duty that day.
Asked whether a policewoman had escorted the complainant to the room, he said investigations were underway.
Being a lawyer myself, I recall stories of my clients about the TORTURE the suffer in police custody.. many fear and do not want to report these cases of torture...
WORSE, is those that are subjected to torture of a sexual nature...over and above the normal fears of victims of torture, sexual torture victims worry about 'public perception' ...and perception of their friends and family if what happens to them whilst in police custody be made known...
SO, I applaud this WOMAN who had the courage to make this police report...
RINA HARUN, our Minister of Women, Family and Community Development - has she done anything yet? Has she visited the victim? Has her Ministry started investigating?
What about SUHAKAM - if they heard about it, have they done anything yet?
MEDIA - sadly, most media did not HIGHLIGHT this - hope we see some investigative journalism moving forward?
IGP and Minister in charge of Police - where is the assurance that the victim will not be harassed/pressured - and the case be investigated seriously?
Has the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator been send for medical, physical and scientific examinations yet? Are there DNA evidence? In torture and sexual torture, speed is key to preserve needed evidence.. The alleged perpetrators clothing on the day of the alleged crime need to be preserved - or it will be washed/disposed off, etc....? Hope the police did all this...
The case was highlighted on 19/12/2021 - more than 10 days ago. Has the Selangor Police Chief anything to add after 10 days of investigating...
