ANGKATAN MUDA KEADILAN MENGUTUK SEKERAS-KERASNYA TINDAKAN KASAR POLIS TERHADAP PEMBANTAH GST
Saya sangat terkejut dengan tangkapan beramai-ramai peserta Gabungan Bantah GST semasa mereka menjalankan protes terhadap pelaksanaan Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan (GST) di Jabatan Kastam di DUN saya di Kelana Jaya semalam. AMK mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya tindakan kasar yang dilakukan pihak polis.
Semalam lebih 80 orang ditahan di balai polis Kelana Jaya termasuk mereka yang cuba disuraikan oleh polis anti rusuhan kerana berkumpul di luar balai untuk memberikan sokongan.
Dilaporkan bahawa pihak polis telah bertindak secara provokatif terhadap khalayak yang berhimpun.
Tindakan demikian tentulah berlebihan dalam menyuraikan perhimpunan yang umumnya berlangsung secara aman.
Pada masa yang sama, adalah tidak adil apabila pihak polis kelihatan cuba menafikan hak mereka yang ditahan untuk mendapatkan peguam.
Pihak polis sepatutnya memberikan fokus utama melindungi orang ramai dan menyelesaikan masalah jenayah berbanding menangani perbezaan pandangan dalam dasar-dasar awam.
Semua 106 soalan yang dikemukakan oleh Gabungan ini adalah sah dan mesti dijelaskan segera oleh pihak kerajaan.
Insiden terkini hanya menunjukkan mengapa Ketua Polis Negara, Khalid Abu Bakar perlu segera meletakkan jawatan sebagai tindakan awal untuk mengurangkan pencabulan terhadap kebebasan asasi kebelakangan ini.

KEADILAN YOUTH STRONGLY CONDEMNS POLICE ACTION ON GST PROTESTORS
I am deeply disturbed by the mass arrests of the Gabungan Bantah GST group during their attempted protest against the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the Customs Department office in my constituency in Kelana Jaya yesterday. KEADILAN Youth strongly condemns the police action.
It appears that more than 80 people were detained at the Kelana Jaya police station, including from when riot police acted against other activists who gathered outside in support of them.
It has been reported that the police acted provocatively against the crowd.
These actions were surely excessive in response to what was generally a peaceful protest.
At the same time, it is manifestly unjust that the police apparently denied some of the detained access to their lawyers.
The police should be allowed to focus on their main duty to protect the public and solve crimes, rather than clamp down on debates over public policy.
The 106 questions that the group had raised against the GST are valid and must be clarified immediately by the government.
The latest incidents only underlines the need for the Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar to resign immediately as the first action to halt the heightened trampling of civil liberties in recent weeks.
