Cops in Dhamendran's case will be suspended


Police personnel allegedly involved in the death in custody of N Dhamendran will be suspended from daily duties, said Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“It’s in the process,” he answered briefly when asked about the demands for the suspension of the four police personnel who were only reassigned to desk duties following Dhamendran's death.

Zahid was responding to the call after meeting with Jeremy England, the head of regional delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross at the minister today.

Malaysiakini was barred from covering the event, but was able to obtain a recording of Zahid's brief door-stop interview.
This is the first time ever that Malaysiakini has been barred from covering a home ministry event. Incidentally, the defence ministry began barring Malaysiakini from covering its events only after Zahid became defence minister in 2009.
On three death in custody cases within 11 days, Zahid defended the police on grounds that it was not fair to blame the police force as a whole.
He said that should some police personnel go beyond the standard operating procedure for interrogations, than they should bear the responsibility instead of the entire police force.

“So, to blame the entire police force in a form of protest is not fair,” he said, stressing that there will be no compromise with any cases of death which happened during police investigations.

He added that the standard operating procedure may need to be reviewed.
