Pressure on Malaysia to release Hindraf members

Malaysia is facing tremendous pressure to release five members of the Hindu Rights Action Force, who were detained under the draconian Internal Security Act last November, for organising a massive rally against the government. Former Works Minister and Malaysian Indian Congress leader S Samy Vellu has joined opposition leader Lim Kit Siang in calling for the release of the five men, who were detained without trial for an indefinite period for being a national security threat.
