"Itu kerja Suhakam. Kenapa ketepikan Suhakam dan tubuh pula kononnya panel siasatan bebas untuk siasat kejadian yang berlaku dalam perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 itu?
"Apa perlu panel siasatan itu sedangkan Suhakam telah membuktikan ia menjalankan kerjanya dengan professional," beliau mempersoalkan.
Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena itu menyifatkan tindakan itu sebagai bukti nyata bahawa kerajaan Umno Barisan Nasional (BN) bukan sahaja tidak menghargai kewujudan Suhakam malah terangan-terangan menunjukkan rasa tidak percaya kepada suruhanjaya tersebut.
"Mengapa kerajaan terang-terang menunjukkan rasa tidak percaya kepada Suhakam?
"Adakah (Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri) Najib (Tun Razak) dan kerajaannya marah dan sakit hati sangat kerana merasakan pendengaran Suhakam sebelum ini tidak menyebelahi pihak mereka," soal Mahfuz lagi.
Tindakan kerajaan yang menunjukkan rasa tidak percaya kepada Suhakam itu seolah-olah sengaja mahu mendorong masyarakat antarabangsa khususnya meragui kemampuan suruhanjaya itu, katanya.
"Kerajaan nampaknya tidak mahu mengiktiraf peranan Suhakam sebagai pelindung hak asasi semua pihak termasuk pihak polis sendiri," katanya.
"Adakah kerajaan sengaja hendak mencari orang yang boleh berkerjasama untuk melindungi apa yang dilihat umum sebagai jenayah kerajaan Umno dan sebahagian anggota polis yang bertindak kejam dan ganas terutama yang mengarahkan tindakan sedemikian terhadap mereka yang menyertai perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 itu?" tanya Mahfuz.
Beliau menyifatkan tindakan mengetepikan Suhakam itu menambahkan lagi keyakinan masyarakat termasuk masyarakat antarabangsa bahawa kerajaan cuba melindungi keganasannya dari disiasat secara bebas, bersih dan adil.
Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Pengerusi Suhakam Tan Sri Hasmy Agam menegaskan bahawa penggunaan kekasaran yang tidak seimbang dan tidak sepatutnya terhadap peserta perhimpunan dan juga petugas media adalah satu tindakan pihak polis yang tidak boleh diterima sama sekali.
Suruhanjaya itu juga, tegasnya, terkejut dengan dakwaan layanan polis terhadap petugas media yang mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk merekod, mendokumen dan melaporkan peristiwa yang menarik minat orang ramai secara professional dan beretika.- harakahdaily
Najib fears using Suhakam to probe police brutality...
DAP has slammed the prime minister for sidelining the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) by forming a new panel to probe reported police violence during Bersih 3.0.
“Is it because the cabinet is worried that the Suhakam findings will be detrimental to both the police force and the government, and hence Najib is attempting to set up a new panel that will be more ‘sympathetic’ towards the government’s cause?” asked DAP parliamentarian Tony Pua.
Pua (right)
said the government’s announcement was “curious” since it had already
set up Suhakam under the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia Act 1999 to
handle matters of human rights infringements.“Therefore, why is it that Suhakam has been marginalised when it comes to the investigation of outright human rights abuses by the police force?
“Why is there a need for the prime minister to set up a new ‘independent’ committee which will require a fresh set up and selection of new panel members? Are the existing commissioners not good enough?” asked the PJ Utara MP in a statement today.
Pua also slammed Najib for attempting to “shift the blame” of the chaos after Bersih had called on the rally to disperse, on the organisers refusing the offer to use Stadium Merdeka for the event.
“Aside
from the fact that the venue was only offered to Bersih at the very
last minute, there is absolutely not good reason provided by the Kuala
Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for the rejection to use Dataran Merdeka.”Pua blamed DBKL’s “unreasonable rejection” for forcing the protest into the streets and the police barricading the Dataran.
“ It became a most ridiculous and ironical situation where the Bersih rally was tacitly allowed on the streets, but they were not allowed to gather on the field!” said Pua.
He also argued it was Najib who had breached the Peaceful Assembly Act, not Bersih, for failing to “understand and embrace the principles and spirit of the Act to allow greater democratic space for expression and assembly by Malaysians”.
Suhakam dealt police blow
Meanwhile PAS Youth said Suhakam’s statement following the rally deals a “serious blow” to the police and the government.
PAS Youth Federal Territories deputy chief Mohamad Suhaimi Abdul Aziz in a statement today pointed out that Suhakam was present at the rally and has witnessed the acts of brutality for themselves.
“As
a body responsible for taking care of human rights, Suhakam has spoken
up about a major error by the police in contravening the people’s rights
of assembly and freedom of speech,” he said.With the amount of evidence available, he said, the police and government have no excuse to deny the allegations or hide from the truth.
“In this case there is enough evidence to haul the police to the dock to be charged.
“The government and in particular the Home Ministry cannot absolve themselves just like that in the face of all that has taken place,” he said.- malaysiakini
Suhakam will probe Bersih 3.0 violence
Suhakam: Police violated human rights in Bersih 2.0
The police had violated human rights when they fired tear gas in the vicinity of public amenities during the Bersih 2.0 rally last July, said the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam).
"There
is infringement of human rights by the police in some instances,
especially when tear gas was fired at the vicinity of public (amenities)
like Tung Shin Hospital, Chinese Maternity Hospital and KL Sentral,
where public safety was at risk."In the case of Tung Shin Hospital, even if the tear gas had not been fired directly into the compound, firing it along Jalan Pudu is in itself hazardous to the people in the hospital, as it is in the vicinity of the hospital," said Suhakam vice-chairperson Khaw Lake Tee at a press conference today at Suhakam headquarters.
Khaw was reading out the commission's 40-page report after a public inquiry on human rights infringements before and after the rally on July 9 last year. - malaysiakini

Apakah ketulenan demokrasi benar-benar wujud dalam era pemerintahan masakini? Politik taksub dan politik munafik telah mengistilahkan pengertian politik mengikut definasi tersendiri. Apakah kita boleh mengelak dari perhatian rakyat yang harini agak berteknoloji, jauh lebih bijak dan berilmu, atau masih buat-buat pekak, atau sengaja memeluk peluang dari terlepas kepada corak pentadbiran lain. Suhakam bagaikan sengaja dipinggir seolah-olah tidak diiktiraf, melainkan yang ditubuh ikut objektif sendiri atau fokus sendiri. Itu dikatakan demokrasi? Bagaimana pula dengan peranan media yang yang tidak bebas menyalur berita? Apakah demokrasi boleh membenarkan kempen berpolitik sehala, malah boleh memporak- perandakan akidah dan mewujudkan rasa benci umat kepada umat lain? Inilah kejengkelan dunia politik yang saling berkejaran dalam mencari kuasa !
Itulah pasai kita kena cari jalan utk benam UMNO/BN dalam tong taik!!!
