Hindraf Rally... (Ethnic) Minority Report ( 6 )
The Personal Dignity of Hindraf Supporters. As late as 11:07pm, November 25, Screenshots received an alert from the Bar Council Monitoring Team for the Hindraf Rally that they needed back-ups of lawyers. Additional help from the lawyers was needed to attend to detainees at Pulapol, Jalan Semarak, and IPK Jalan Hang Tuah, Kuala Lumpur.
"Many arrested. Help 2 mobilise," the SMS read.
Earlier in the day, Bar Council has alerted Screenshots that 69 people were arrested and detained at IPK Kuala Lumpur, about 300 were detained at Pulapol at Jalan Semarak.

The Star today (November 27) reported that a total of 105 people who took part in the Hindraf Rally on Sunday are still being detained. The paper quoted Federal CID director Comm Christopher Wan Soo Kee as saying that those still in custody would be released on bail today.
Here's Screenshots' tribute to those individuals who were placed in temporarily incarceration, standing up for their cause. May you be free if you haven't been.
For context, please read human rights lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar's blog. He does not quite concur with the way Hindraf leaders espouse their cause, but he fully respects the personal dignity of Hindraf supporters -- the common stand taken by this blogger.

Moving pictures. Reminds me of the Tank Man in Tianamen Square 1989.
Those who stood for their cause are to be applauded. May they be free soon from the short termed incarceration.

This mornign's Newspapers, Nazri is reported to be saying even Robin Hood has to be tried as he robbed from the rich.
suddenly our heros of the past have become crooks. But then again thet typifies UMNO mentality. Like they changed Jalan Birch to Jalan Maharajalela.
Nazri, the UMNO's useful idiot, forgot to mention that the rich he speaks of would the equivalent of todays UMNO cronies and UMNO beneficiaries. And whatever government in place then would be like UMNO's government here today. Need I say more.
