Court allows Uthayakumar’s application to cite prison director for contempt
Last updated on 14 November 2014 – 02:08pm
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here granted leave for lawyer P. Uthayakumar to cite Kajang Prison director for contempt of court for failing to comply court directive to place him at a different prison cell away from hardcore prisoners.
Justice Datuk Mohd Azman Husin set Jan 13 next year for Abdul Wahab Abdul Kassim (director) to appear before him and explain himself on why he should not be cited for contempt.
However, he disallowed the application for two other prison inspectors to face similar actions.
Mohd Azman confirmed the High Court orders issued on Sept 9 last year, among others, ordered that Uthayakumar be placed with other political prisoners rather than hardcore prisoners.
This was following Uthayakumar’s complaint that he was forced to share a cell with five other inmates who were convicted for robbery and rape cases.
Mohd Azman also had ordered Uthayakumar to be referred to a specialist at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital to treat his “collapsed disc”.

Prison going against court order, says Uthayakumar’s wife
The Kajang Prisons Department is not complying with the High Court order by placing the Hindraf leader with other hardcore criminals.
PETALING JAYA: A committal proceeding has been filed against the Kajang Prisons Department for not complying with the High Court order that jailed Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar should be placed with other political prisoners.
Uthayakumar’s wife S Indra Devi told FMT that the proceeding was filed by lawyers M Manoharan and M Manogaran at the High Court yesterday.
Kajang prison director Abdul Wahab Abdul Kassim and prison officers Sajideh Samin and McKenzie were named as respondents. The date to hear the notice of the motion is not yet known.
Uthayakumar’s counsels also requested for High Court Judge Mohd Azman Husin to preside over the matter and to give judgment as to why his directives were not followed.
“The saddest part is that although he is a politician, he is placed together with hardcore criminals.
“He’s not a murderer, drug dealer or even an armed robber. Why are they treating him like a hardcore criminal?” Indra Devi told FMT today.
She added that Judge Mohd Azman’s orders to allow Uthayakumar to meet with his family members for an hour every week has also not been obeyed.
“Despite the court order, sometimes the police chase me off, telling me I cannot meet him.
“If the judge did not allow me to meet him, then that’s fine. But the judge did allow me. It seems like everything is in the police’s hands and not the judge’s.”
She added that it has been two weeks since she last spoke to her husband.

I’m not a common criminal, Uthaya tells PM
PETALING JAYA: For the third time in 11 months, Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar has cried foul over his treatment in Kajang Prison where he is serving a 30-month sentence for sedition.
Uthayakumar, in a letter to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, alleged that the prison authorities were violating the Prison’s Act and a High Court order to place him with political prisoners.
Uthayakumar, currently in solitary confinement, said: “I was jailed in the ‘dark room’, a punishment cell for 16 days when in effect the rule only allows for one day of separation.
“This is in blatant contravention of Regulations 119 and 121 of the Prison’s Act of 1995.”
After Uthayakumar was removed from the ‘dark room’, he claimed he was locked up with violent and dangerous criminals. There were also about 10 transvestites in the cell.
“This, again, is in clear violation of the KL High Court Order which specified that I be detained with political prisoners.
I’m not a common criminal, Mr Prime Minister,” said Uthayakumar.
