A year ago today Burhanuddin Sulaiman, a 57-year-old former Royal Malaysian Air Force lieutenant-colonel, was found dead at the Ampang Jaya police station approximately seven hours after he had been arrested.
Despite the requirement that all custodial deaths be investigated by inquiries conducted pursuant to Chapter XXXII of the Criminal Procedure Code, it is not clear that an inquest has been conducted into Burhanuddin Sulaiman's death. Every death in custody must be thoroughly and impartially investigated. Burhanuddin Sulaiman's death must not be relegated to a mere statistic. Based on the Royal Malaysia Police's statistics, 85 persons died in police custody between 2003 and 2007 alone.
We express our heartfelt condolences to Burhanuddin Sulaiman's family and friends on this first anniversary of his death. Set as favourite Share Email This Comments (0)
