Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 1.5.2012.<\/p>\n
All Malaysians Should Dress In Black And Pin A Yellow Ribbon On 3 May 2012 Not Only To Commemorate World Press Freedom Day But Also Stand In Solidarity With The Reporters And Photographers Who Either Beaten, Had Their Cameras Taken Away Or Smashed As Well As Were Victimised By Police Brutality During Bersih 3.0 Rally In Kuala Lumpur.<\/strong><\/p>\n DAP fully supports and urges all Malaysians to dress in black and pin a yellow ribbon on 3 May 2012 not only to commemorate World Press Freedom day but also stand in solidarity with the reporters and photographers who either beaten, had their cameras taken away or smashed as well as were victimised by police brutality during Bersih 3.0 Rally in Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n The public should stand in solidarity with media workers and reporters who became victims of police brutality during the peaceful Bersih 3.0 rally in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday. That the police did indeed beat up members of the media is irrefutable when the Prime Minister himself whispered an apology to the Sun reporter Radzi Razak who was warded to hospital after the beating.<\/p>\n We strongly condemn the ugly scenes last Saturday at the Bersih 3.0 rally where many protesters, including media workers and reporters, were indiscriminately attacked and injured by police officers. Numerous reports have come in about incidents of police brutality, including Sun reporter Radzi Razak who was assaulted by up to 15 police officers, while a Malay Mail photographer was punched by the police and had his camera destroyed. A Malaysiakini reporter was arrested and his camera equipment confiscated. Even reporters from international agency Al-Jazeera were not spared, as they reported being roughed up while they tried to film an officer beating up a protester.<\/p>\n What has our country turned into when even the sacred rule of freedom of the press can be openly, publicly and blatantly violated. In the past, freedom of the press was curtailed secretly and not publicly with the BN imposing self-censorship by the editors. To make matters worse, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein had the audacity to brush the allegations away by claiming that it was Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the police to confiscate camera equipment. However, the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar himself has now come out to contradict Hishamuddin by insisting that seizing camera equipment was not part of police SOP.<\/p>\n If the IGP is correct, then Hishamuddin must apologise to every reporter who was assaulted. He must also order an investigation into the misconduct of the police and bring those guilty to justice. There must be no cover up, or he will risk ruining what little reputation is left of the police.<\/p>\n Malaysians have great doubts as to whether a full and proper investigation will be fruitful and action taken against the perpetrators. We are reminded of similar police inaction in an incident at the First Penang Bridge on July last year when again pro-UMNO demonstrators disrupted traffic flow and beat up 2 reporters. To-date no one was arrested. <\/p>\n The second more serious accident happened again in an anti-Lynas rally in the Speaker\u2019s Corner in Esplanade in Penang on 26 February, UMNO and Perkasa members behaved like thugs, violently attacking and injuring 2 reporters during an anti-Lynas rally. One of the reporters had to endure 8 stitches to close his injury. <\/p>\n The policemen present just stood by and did not act to stop or arrest those involved in the barbaric attacks of UMNO and Perkasa members attacking peaceful anti-Lynas demonstrators and physically force the anti-Lynas demonstrators to leave. Up to now not a single person has been either arrested or charged by Penang police.<\/p>\n If UMNO and Perkasa ordinary thugs can get away with assaulting reporters in Penang, with no action taken to date despite plenty of photo and video evidence, can we really expect any justice when it is the police themselves perpetrating the act this time? Only an independent inquiry comprising international experts can trusted with providing a credible report on how to apportion blame to the police so that we can find out the truth of what happened.<\/p>\n Lim Guan Eng<\/p>\n ———- BM Translation——— Semua Rakyat Malaysia Harus Memakai Hitam Dan Pin Reben Kuning Pada 3 Mei 2012 Bukan Sahaja Untuk Memperingati Hari Kebebasan Akhbar Sedunia Tetapi Juga Untuk Berdiri Dalam Solidariti Bersama Para Wartawan Dan Jurugambar Yang Telah Dipukul, Kamera Dirampas Atau Dipecah Serta Dimangsakan Oleh Keganasan Polis Semasa Perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 Di Kuala Lumpur.<\/strong><\/p>\n DAP menyokong penuh dan menyeru agar semua rakyat Malaysia memakai hitam dan pin reben kuning pada 3 Mei 2012 bukan sahaja untuk memperingati Hari Kebebasan Akhbar Sedunia tetapi juga untuk berdiri dalam solidariti bersama para wartawan dan jurugambar yang telah dipukul, kamera dirampas atau dipecah serta dimangsakan oleh keganasan polis semasa perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 di Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n Pihak awam harus berdiri dalam solidariti bersama pekerja media dan wartawan yang telah menjadi mangsa keganasan polis semasa perhimpunan aman Bersih 3.0 di Kuala Lumpur Sabtu lepas. Memang sah bahawa pihak polis telah memukul para pekerja media apabila Perdana Menteri sendiri telah membisikkan maaf kepada wartawan The Sun Radzi Razak yang telah dimasukkan ke dalam wad hospital selepas dipukul.<\/p>\n Kami mengutuk hebat adegan-adegan ganas Sabtu lepas di perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 di mana ramai pemprotes termasuk pekerja media dan wartawan telah dipukul dan dicederakan oleh pegawai-pegawai polis. Banyak laporan yang menceritakan keganasan polis, termasuk wartawan The Sun Radzi Razak yang telah dipukul oleh sehingga 15 pegawai polis, sementara seorang jurugambar Malay Mail telah ditumbuk oleh polis dan kameranya dipecahkan. Seorang wartawan Malaysiakini pula telah ditahan dan peralatan kameranya telah dirampas. Malah wartawan antarabangsa daripada Al-Jazeera pun tidak terkecuali, apabila mereka telah dikasari semasa mengambil gambar polis sedang memukul pemprotes.<\/p>\n Apakah yang sudah terjadi apabila peraturan keramat kebebasan akhbar boleh dilanggar secara terbuka, umum dan terang-terangan? Dahulu, kebebasan akhbar telah disekat secara senyap dan bukan secara umum melalui penapisan sendiri oleh para pengarang. Yang lebih teruknya, Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein tergamak menyatakan bahawa tindakan untuk merampas peralatan kamera itu adalah \u201cStandard Operating Procedure\u201d (SOP) polis. Namun demikian, Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Ismail Omar sendiri telah menyatakan bahawa perampasan peralatan kamera itu bukanlah SOP polis, lantas bercanggah dengan Hishamuddin.<\/p>\n Sekiranya Ketua Polis Negara betul, maka Hishamuddin harus meminta maaf kepada setiap wartawan yang telah dipukul. Beliau harus juga memerintah agar siasatan dibuat untuk membawa pegawai-pegawai yang bersalah ke muka pengadilan. Jika ini tidak dibuat dengan terbuka dan tanpa mengaburi kebenaran, maka beliau akan lagi merosakkan reputasi polis yang sudah terhakis.<\/p>\n Rakyat Malaysia mempunyai keraguan sama ada siasatan yang penuh akan berhasil dan tindakan akan diambil ke atas pesalah. Kita teringat kepada tindakan pihak polis yang tidak membuat apa-apa dalam insiden Jambatan Pulau Pinang pada bulan Julai tahun lepas apabila pembantah pro-UMNO telah menggangu aliran trafik dan memukul 2 orang wartawan. Sehingga kini tidak ada sebarang penangkapan.<\/p>\n Insiden yang kedua pula adalah semasa perhimpunan anti-Lynas di Sudut Pidato di Padang Kota Lama, Pulau Pinang pada 26 Februari, apabila ahli-ahli UMNO dan Perkasa telah bertindak ganas dan mencederakan 2 orang wartawan. Seorang wartawan terpaksa menerima 8 jahitan kerana kecederaannya.<\/p>\n Pegawai-pegawai polis di sana hanya berdiri dan tidak menghentikan atau menangkap mereka yang terlibat dalam keganasan ahli-ahli UMNO dan Perkasa yang menyerang para pemprotes anti-Lynas yang aman. Sehingga sekarang, tidak ada seorang pun yang telah ditahan atau didakwa oleh polis Pulau Pinang.<\/p>\n Jika samseng UMNO dan Perkasa boleh bertindak ganas terhadap wartawan di Pulau Pinang tanpa sebarang tindakan diambil walaupun terdapat banyak bukti gambar dan video, bolehkah kita mengharapkan keadilan apabila pihak polis pula yang kali ini bertindak ganas? Hanya siasatan yang terdiri daripada pakar antarabangsa boleh memberi laporan yang boleh dipercayai supaya kita boleh mengetahui kebenaran apa sebenarnya yang berlaku.<\/p>\n Lim Guan Eng<\/p>\n
