We call on the court to appoint an independent doctor to conduct a thorough investigation on Anwar and to determine how his injuries were sustained. If it is proven that there was indeed ill-treatment as Anwar alleges, then those suspected of inflicting Anwar s injuries should be immediately charged in court for criminal assault. The Home Affairs Minister and the Inspector-General of Police should also accept full responsibility and resign immediately. That would be the only honourable thing to do in these tragic circumstances. Now that Anwar has been charged in court, he should be released on bail so that he can have full access to his lawyers to adequately prepare his defence.
Any continued detention woould be a travesty of justice.
