But what about the poor Hindraf 6. They fought for justice on a non-partisan platform. In the end they were vindicated. But what happens to them now. They will probably be dumped into the dustbin of time. NGOs and political parties from both sides should do something for them for enduring 3 years of suffering and hardship. That is the least they can do to thank them.
Yes, what sacrifices they have made! What hardship and suffering they have had to go through! Their families, too, suffered.

The HINDRAF 6 were P. Ramesh, Mogan, Vijayalingam, Subramaniam, Jayakumar and Sivakumar.
DPP Ariff Firman Muhammad Sidek led the prosecution team while the accused were being represented by Augustine Anthony and Amani Williams-Hunt (Bah Tony). Nurul Fareha Zainal Abidin was the presiding magistrate.

Free At Last!
The pioneers of “Haramkan Interlok” movement now known as the famous “Hindraf 6” who were charged in Ipoh Magistrate court in 2010 for being part of an outlawed movement were finally freed yesterday 11th April 2013.
From the start of the case in 2010, our position as counsels in court was that “The Hindraf 6” have rights under Article 10 of The Federal Constitution that guarantees freedom of association.
It has been my pleasure defending those who defend the sanctity of our Federal Constitution. My role as counsel for the “Hindraf 6” is insignificant and small considering the enormous hardship that they have suffered all this while upholding the citizen’s rights, among others the freedom of association enshrined under The Federal Constitution.
It is my hope that Malaysian society will always remember their contribution for a better civil society in this country.
Augustine Anthony
