Lawyers for Liberty says the action against M Ravi is related to his defence of Malaysians on death row at Changi Prison. FMTNews ChangiPrison MRavi LFL

Lawyers for Liberty says the raid on M Ravi’s office is ‘highly prejudicial’ to the pending cases of Malaysians on death row at Changi Prison.

In a statement today, LFL adviser N Surendran said Singapore police claimed to be investigating Ravi for contempt of court in relation to a case involving a Singaporean extradited from Malaysia, in which Ravi was acting as counsel.“This is an act of blatant and illegal harassment and intimidation against Ravi, who was merely doing his duty as a lawyer.

Surendran said the latest action against the human rights lawyer came ahead of the hearing of a legal challenge filed by him in the Singapore Court of Appeal on behalf of Gobi. “With yesterday’s police action and impounding of passport, it is now uncertain whether Ravi will be allowed to argue the case,” he said.
