Re : SPECIAL BRANCH OFFICERS COLLUDING WITH DOCTORS TO PREMATURELY DISCHARGE UTHAYAKUMAR .

ROYAL POLICE FORCE UNEASY WITH LARGE PRESENCE OF HINDRAF SUPPORTERS AT TAIPING HOSPITAL.

HINDRAF WOULD LAUNCH 1000 POLICE REPORTS AGAINST POLICE SHOULD UTHAYAKUMAR BE PREMATURELY DISCHARGED .

It has come to our attention the Police Special Branch is colluding and exerting pressure on doctors at Taiping Hospital to immediately discharge Uthayakumar from Hospital as they are “uneasy” with the large presence of HINDRAF supporters and steady flow of supporters throughout the day at Taiping Hospital.

25^th and 26^th January 2008 saw huge numbers of HINDRAF supporters holding candlelight vigil at the Hospital and hundreds of devotees held special prayers for Uthayakumar at most of the temples in Taiping vicinity.

We have received reliable insider information the Special branch officers are exerting pressure on Doctors to certify Uthayakumar is fit to be discharged despite doctors earlier informing Uthayakumar and his family members that he would be continuously monitored until he breaks his fast on Monday due to his health condition.

HINDRAF warns the Royal Police Force that we would have no choice but to lodge at least 1000 Police reports against the police should Uthayakumar be prematurely discharged and seek the urgent help of the International Red Cross to send a fact finding mission to Malaysia to assess the situation.
