Press Statement from FAMILY AHMAD BIN ABD JALIL - in regards to his ARRESTS - media / press please pick up

"Johore Police detained a youth accused of insulting the Sultan in FB"

Kuala Lumpur, 3rd Nov - A youth was detained by Johore Police late last night under the Seditious Act 4(1), accused of insulting the Sultan of Johore in his facebook. He was detained in Kuala Lumpur and transfered to Jo
hore on the same night.

Ahmad Abd Jalil, 27 a quantity surveyor was picked up by several plain-clothed police officers at his office in Cheras at around 10.00pm and later was brought to Balai Polis Wangsa Maju for questioning. Subsequently he was brought to his parent's house in Damansara Damai for house-search whereby the police had conducted checks on all computers and laptops in the house. He was then taken to Johore by around 10 plain-clothed officers in 4 civilian cars.

The family's lawyer confirmed that Ahmad was presented before the JB Magistrate in the morning and remanded for 3 days for further investigation. As at 3.00pm on Saturday, an effort to meet Ahmad by his parent was denied by IPK Johor Bahru.

At 9.00pm on Friday, one of the family members received call from Ahmad and quickly arranged for his lawyer-friend to attend the matter at Balai Polis Wangsa Maju. Worrying of Ahmad's safety the lawyer lodged a counter police-report regarding the possible transfer of the youth to Johore. No identification of the Johore police officers, arrest-warrant or police reports against Ahmad were shown by the police to the lawyer and family members.

The FB netizens quickly highlighted this case, providing limelights and attentions by various activists on Ahmad's safety.

One of Ahmad's immediate family members mentioned that;
a) the number of police officers involved in the process for such a small case (non-criminal, non-violent) - 4 civilian cars driven by around 10 plain-clothed police officers.
b) the officers did not show any arrest-warrant, identification or copy of report-against Ahmad.
c) Ahmad was detained on Friday night and they insist to bring him to Johore on the same night as if matter is so urgent.

The family worries about Ahmad's safety where there is a risk of direct interference from the 'palace' during the detention and remand period. "If someone who is well-known or famous, his safety is almost assured due to the limelights in the alternative media or news, but for an ordinary youth like Ahmad, we need assurance of his safety. We are confident with the police's conduct and professionalism but we are not sure whether the Johore police could stop any interference from the 'palace' as a lot of stories (whether it is true or not) that they have always been 'above-the-law' in Johore. We are puzzled as to why this case was attended by the Johore police with high urgency (there are a lot of other criminal cases to handle especially a state with very high crime index). We don't mind if Ahmad is being remanded at any police station other than in Johore, unless there is an assurance of his safety"

 <Update kes tangkapan Ahmad Abd Jalil>

-statement from our family-

Yesterday, when the parent tried to meet Ahmad, the request was denied by the IPK Johore. My father was told by an officer that "normally these type of cases were settled through an audience and apology to the palace". (we still didn't agree for Ahmad to be extracted out from the lock-up).

Then the news started spreading mainly in the alternative media.

However, today when my father reattempted to meet Ahmad again, an ACP was quick to dismiss the possibility of Ahmad being brought to meet anyone (including the palace). He gave assurance on Ahmad's safety. It is contrary to the yesterday's words.

We should thank the media (honest journalists) for keeping the citizens informed, perhaps this would be the way to free up our force from bad influence. This is the beginning of the efforts to make our force stronger, independent and they will protect citizens more than the corrupt rulers and leaders. We support a free and independent Police Force.
