Suhakam sees harassment in police probe of CAGED activist

CAGED activist Rama Ramanathan is under investigation for his blog post on another activist.

Rama’s computer and mobile phone were reported to have been seized by police after his blog post alleging that police had attempted to cause the disappearance of activist Jufazli Shi Ahmad.“Being able to champion victims of human rights abuses, without fear of undue interference, is vital for these activists to operate,” it said in a statement.

Suhakam said the right to freedom of speech and expression had been expressly stated under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Suhakam is also concerned by the lack of access afforded to the Cambodians in terms of communications and the ability to reach out to organisations such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees .
