About this video - The fact remains that detention at Guantanamo Bay and Kamunting Camp are detention without trial. I am surprised that Shabery Cheek seems ignorant that ISA has tarnished the image of Malaysia in the international community. Many resolutions, condemning the Malaysian government for using ISA to detain political dissidents, have been passed in many international conventions in the past, including Socialist International World Conference, Convention of Council of Liberal Democrats (CALD), International Parliamentary Union (IPU) Conference etc. The stress and hardships suffered by detainees and their family members in Guantanamo Bay and Kamunting Detention Camp are the same. The long detention and mental torture suffered by the detainees have even driven them to mental breakdowns. This is the similarity of both Kamunting Detention Camp and Guantanamo Bay.
While the Malaysian government has requested the US Government for a fair trial of the two Malaysians who are suspected to be involved in the al-Qaeda terrorism activities, we should set out human rights record straight by repealing detention without trial under the ISA.
NAjib said when responding to a US demands that the Hindraf detainees be given a fair trial;
"Can they give a fair trial to the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, first of all? We will only response if they do so"
