PUTRAJAYA (Nov 1, 2007): The police today recorded the
statement from Bar Council office bearers on the 'Walk for Justice' the latter
organised on Sept 26.
Bar Council chairwoman Ambiga Sreenevasan, vice-president Ragunath Kesavan and
secretary Lim Chee Wee had their statement recorded in the Putrajaya district
police headquarters this afternoon.
This was the second time they were asked to give their statement.
On Oct 23, the three had declined to give their statement as the police had
failed to present them with a copy of the first information report, which should
contain information on the alleged offence they were being investigated for, the
name of the complainants, and the date and number of the police report.
Met after the 45-minute meeting with the police, Ambiga said they were informed
this time that the investigation was related to assembly without police permit,
under Article 27 of the Police Act.
"Our lawyers were officially notified by the officers that the previous request
for information and first information report were rejected after obtaining
advice from the DPP (deputy public prosecutor).
"No further details on the nature of the offence were given to us apart from the
general statement that we are being investigated under Article 27 of the Police
Act," she told reporters.
She declined to give more details on the statement.
Putrajaya CID chief ASP M. Gunalan, who is conducting the investigation, said
the investigation paper would be referred to the DPP later to decide on the next
course of action.
Ambiga was represented by Sulaiman Abdullah, while Ragunath and Lim were
represented by M. Puravalen and Cheow Wee respectively.
At the "Walk for Justice", about 2,000 people, half of them lawyers, marched
from the Palace of Justice to the Prime Minister's Department in Putrajaya, to
hand over a memorandum asking for a Royal Commission to be set up to investigate
a video clip allegedly showing a senior lawyer brokering the appointment of
judges with a senior judge.
