LFL calls for RCI on mass graves after NST report of police cover-ups
PETALING JAYA: The government must form a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) following a report by the New Straits Times (NST) today claiming massive cover-ups by police on the discovery of mass graves in Wang Kelian, Perlis, two years ago, rights lawyers say.
“This extensive NST report confirms the long-held suspicion of local authorities’ collusion, and most damning of all, the subsequent whitewash investigation and perfunctory prosecution of a few foreigners,” Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) said in a statement.
“In light of the exposé, serious questions must be asked as to why there was such an extensive cover-up and who the authorities were trying to protect.”
.
LFL said the report was not surprising, and that the case had been poorly investigated in Malaysia, in contrast to Thailand which had prosecuted and convicted 62 persons including senior army officers.
“This report further affirms what civil society has been saying all along, that the government is not genuine in tackling human trafficking and is merely paying lip service and doing the very minimum in order to achieve better human rights ranking,” said LFL executive director Eric Paulsen.
“Despite credible reports of human trafficking, the Malaysian authorities have long denied the existence of such activities.”
He said the government must set up a “credible” RCI and “tackle this modern-day scourge of human trafficking”.

Massive cover-ups in 2015 Perlis mass graves find, says NST
PETALING JAYA: Authorities had already known about the mass graves in Wang Kelian on the Malaysia-Thai border, but delayed announcing it until four months after they were first discovered, the New Straits Times reported today following a two-year investigation.
The daily also said police had cleared the campsite where the mass graves were discovered, destroying potential evidences at the crime scenes before they were processed by forensics personnel.
It added that the probe revealed that Wang Kelian may have been part of a “massive, coordinated cover up”.
In early May 2015, then inspector-general of police (IFP) Khalid Abu Bakar had announced the discovery of more than 130 graves in 28 temporary camps of a human trafficking syndicate in Wang Kelian.
This followed the discovery of similar graves in Thaiand, which led Thai police to launch a massive crackdown on human trafficking networks.
But NST said the Malaysian police had already known about the mass graves at the campsite in a dense part of a jungle on the Thailand-Malaysian borders as early as January 2015.
“Why did the police order the destruction of these camps, which were potential crime scenes, before they could be processed by forensics personnel?” the paper asked.
.
“The NST Special Probes Team is bound by journalistic ethics in honouring the condition Khalid imposed, which was not to publish what he had told us.”

[EXCLUSIVE] The secrets of Wang Kelian exposed
The first raid on a human trafficking camp in Wang Kelian on Jan 19, 2015, led to the discovery of mass graves.
KUALA LUMPUR: An exhaustive, two-year investigation by the New Straits Times Special Probes Team into the mass killings in Wang Kelian in 2015 that shook the world, has revealed startling new evidence, which suggests a massive, coordinated cover-up.
One of the biggest revelations was that the human trafficking death camps had been discovered months earlier, but police only announced the discovery on May 25.
Another huge question mark was why did police order the destruction of these camps, which were potential crime scenes, before they could be processed by forensics personnel?
The in-depth investigation was sparked by a number of burning, unanswered questions that dogged the team, among them, why had the initial discovery of these death camps been kept hush-hush; and who gave the order to sanitise and destroy the crime scene; and, why.
In the hunt for the truth, the team pored over scores of official documents and reams of reports. The team checked and re-checked the facts, sought corroborative witnesses and verified facts through multiple, independent sources — all to build an airtight case.
During the course of this investigation, the team traced and interviewed countless personalities who were directly involved in what had been, and still is, the most horrific case of human trafficking, torture and mass killings to have occurred on our soil.
These sessions also took the team back to the crime scene where evidence of the victims’ torture and suffering, including empty graves, were all around us.
