PETALING JAYA: Lawyers for Liberty today said the inspector-general of police’s defence of the deportation of five Egyptians is based on unproven allegations.
Its executive director Latheefa Koya questioned why the Egyptians, believed to have committed serious offences on Malaysian soil, were not charged formally in court.
“Surely, offences committed in Malaysia must be tried here, and not in Egypt.
“They should have been given the opportunity to defend themselves in court.
“Instead, the IGP has made serious allegations against them through a press statement without affording them an opportunity to answer.
“These remain unproven allegations supported by no evidence,” she said in a statement today.
IGP Fuzi Harun, in a statement today, had confirmed the deportation of five Egyptian members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He claimed they had aided foreign terrorist elements in the country and were thus suspected to have committed Offences under Part VIA of the Penal Code.
Latheefa said this claim was quite incomprehensible, from both a legal and enforcement standpoint.
Secondly, she said Malaysia has not designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation and neither does it regard it as so.
“It is thus unacceptable that the IGP relies on this to support the decision to deport them.
“The Muslim Brotherhood is a legitimate group carrying on a political struggle in Egypt, while being tyrannised by the military regime in Cairo.
“Thirdly, the IGP admits to knowledge that these Egyptians are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“It is hence known to the IGP and the Malaysian government that they will face torture, denial of due process or execution in Egypt.
“Hence, their deportation is in breach of the principle of non-refoulement, and the international obligations of Malaysia.”
Latheefa said throughout their arrest and detention in Malaysia, their families and lawyers were kept in the dark as to their situation.
“They had no opportunity to meet lawyers, give instructions or make the necessary representations to the courts here.
“This is a denial of due process.
“We protest in the strongest terms the deportation and treatment of these men which is a blot upon this country,” she added.
Earlier, Amnesty International Malaysia had also said the Egyptians deported were now at risk of enforced disappearance, torture, prolonged detention and unfair trials.
“We urge the Malaysian government to respect the principle of non-refoulement and ensure that those at risk of persecution or risk of irreparable harm in another country, including torture, are not deported,” said the group’s executive director Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu.
In his statement, Fuzi said police had also deported a Tunisian suspected of being linked to Islamist militant groups abroad.
The Tunisian and one of the Egyptians deported were members of Ansar al-Sharia al-Tunisia, which is listed as a terrorist group by the United Nations, he said.
The two, both in their early 20s, had allegedly used fake passports to enter Malaysia with the intention of travelling to and launching an attack in a third country, police said.
“Members of this terror group are suspected of being involved in plans to carry out large-scale attacks in other countries,” Fuzi said.
The other five Egyptians are accused of providing shelter, transport and employment for the two linked to Ansar al-Sharia.
“As the presence of these foreigners constitute a security risk, all suspects have been deported to their native country and recommendations have been made to blacklist them from entering Malaysia for life,” Fuzi said.
He added that two Malaysians were also detained in the counter-terror operation. - FMT

"...Two very important Islamic leaders in Egypt, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Mohammed Abdou, were also Freemasons. Al-Afghani was a foreigner who had been the prime minister of Afghanistan before becoming an activist in Iran and Russia prior to his appearance in Egypt. He is considered "the founder of the political pan-Islamic movement," and his movement is known as the Salafiyya movement...
He became a teacher at Al-Azhar University where he focused on reforming the prestigious Islamic institution. At the same time he quickly rose to become a judge in the National Courts. Only eleven years after returning from his British-imposed exile the ruling British governor, Lord Cromer, made Sheikh Mohammed Abduh the Grand Mufti of Egypt, in 1899. He was now the Pope of Islam.(4) At the same time he was the Masonic Grand Master of the United Lodge of Egypt. (5)
There was of course an ulterior motive for Cromer making Abduh the most powerful figure in all of Islam. You see, in 1898 the ruling council of Al-Azhar University had reaffirmed that usury, and thus banking according to the Western model, was harem (illegal) according to Islamic Law. This was unacceptable to Lord Cromer because his given name happened to be Evelyn Baring - he was an important member of England’s prestigious Baring banking family that had grown rich off of the opium trade in India and China.
Lord Cromer installed his friend Sheikh Abduh to change the law forbidding banking, and once he was made Grand Mufti he used a very liberal and creative interpretation of the Quran to fabricate a loophole that allowed the forbidden practice of usury. British banks then had free reign to dominate Egypt. In Lord Cromer’s writings he says, "I suspect my friend Abduh was in reality an agnostic," and he commented on Abduh’s Salafiyya movement saying, "They are the natural allies of the European reformer." Even Cromer saw that the Islamist movement could be used to Britain’s advantage. (6)...
In 1927, at the age of twenty-one after graduating from his university, he was appointed to teach Arabic at a school in Ismailiyya. This town happened to be the capital of the British-occupied Canal Zone and the headquarters of Britain’s Suez Canal Company. Hasan al-Banna established the Muslim Brotherhood there a year later. The Suez Canal Company helped to provide the funds for the first Muslim Brotherhood mosque that was built in Ismailiyya in 1930. (8a)..."
