Meneruskan pembelaan terhadap Norizan Salleh yang hampir maut dicedera oleh anggota PDRM

Salam/Selamat Sejahtera Rakyat Malaysia

Norizan Salleh akan ke Putrajaya menemui Menteri Dalam Negeri Hishamuddin Hussein dalam usaha utk mendapat pembelaan kerana telah ditembak berulang kali tanpa hak oleh anggota PDRM.

Norizan telah pertama kalinya mengadu kpd Biro pengaduan MCA tetapi aduannya tidak diambil serius dan terhenti apabila laporan polisnya tidak diambil tindakan.

Diatas nasihat yang diterima, Norizan telah ke kediaman DSAI yang kemudiannya merujuk kes beliau kepada Latheefah Koya (ahli Majlis Pimpinan Pusat KEADILAN), yang juga peguam kepada Norizan,supaya Norizan mendapat pembelaan yg sewajarnya.

Sidang media pertama mengenai kes beliau telah diadakan di HQ KEADILAN, Tropicana.Ia disusuli dengan Memorandum kepada Ketua Polis Negara di Bukit Aman pada 4 Feb.Dan selepas itu ke SUHAKAM pada 11 Feb.

Permohonan kepada SUHAKAM akan mengambil masa utk diketahui jawapan agar suruhanjaya bebas menyiasat kes Norizan Salleh, dan memohon Menteri Wanita mengambil tanggungjawab memelihara kebajikan Norizan Salleh yg mengalami kecederaan kekal sehingga tangan kanannya belum diketahui akan pulih semula, disamping kecederaan lain yang berterusan membuat beliau, seorang ibu tunggal, tidak mungkin diberi pekerjaan untuk menyara diri dan anaknya.
Ahli-Ahli Yang Berhormat,antaranya ialah Ketua Wanita, Zuraida Kamaruddin telah juga menggesa agar IPCMC ditubuhkan dan kes-kes seumpamanya (yang berakhir dengan kematian) disiasat juga.

Mohon mobilisasi Rakyat ke Putrajaya mengiringi Norizan Salleh pada 25 Feb. 11.00 pagi di Kementerian Dalam Negeri.

Satu Sidang Media Khas akan diadakan selepas pertemuan dengan Menteri Hishamuddin Hussein.

Dilampir dokumen yang telah diserahkan kepada Ketua Polis negara dan SUHAKAM.

MEMORANDUM OF PROTEST

Shooting by police of Norizan Bte. Salleh

The Facts

1) On 30.10.2009, 29 years old Norizan bt Salleh was shot 5 times by police.

2) Norizan was travelling in a car when the incident happened. Without justification, police shot at the car from behind, the bullets penetrating through the body of the car and hitting Norizan who was seated at the back seat.

3) After being shot, Norizan was then kicked and stepped on by the police personnel despite bleeding profusely from being shot.

4) No person in the car was armed with any weapon and there was no threat of any kind to the police. Despite this, police chose to open fire repeatedly at the car.

5) Norizan is an innocent woman who has never been charged in court for any crime. She has suffered serious injuries including permanent damage to her hand. A bullet lodged close to her heart had to be removed by surgery at Institute Jantung Negara. Norizan is lucky to be alive today!

6) Norizan lodged a police report on 16.11.2009 complaining of attempted murder by police, but no action has been taken by the authorities against the culprits.

Increasing incidents of unjustified police shootings

1) Activists, lawyers and elected representatives have raised the issue of unjustified shootings by police on many occasions, but have been ignored by both the Police Force and the Government.

2) In almost every case, the police version of the events has been similar; that the victims opened fire and police returned fire, killing all of them. It has been easy for police to get away with this version, as the victims are usually dead and the truth buried. This has also been the police version in two recent shooting cases. [Kulim shooting (February 2009) and Klang shooting (November 2009)].

3) Norizan’s shocking case proves that unjustified shootings by police have reached dangerous levels.

4) The brutality with which Norizan was treated after the shooting indicates the extent and seriousness of problems in the Police Force.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED DEMAND:-

1) An immediate investigation by a Bukit Aman team specially set-up for this purpose;

2) The result of the investigation be made fully public;

3) All those police personnel involve in Norizan’s brutal shooting be suspended/arrested immediately;

4) That the case be classified as attempted murder;

5) That there be immediate and thorough reform of the Police Force;

6) That the IGP explain to the public why the police have never revealed this shocking incident to the public;

7) The leadership of the police support the setting up of the IPCMC.

 That all suspicious police shooting cases over the past decade be re-opened.

Complaint on the infringement by Police

of the Human Rights of Cik Norizan Bt Salleh

The Facts

1) On 30.10.2009, 29 year old Norizan bt Salleh was shot 5 times by police.

2) Norizan was travelling in a car when the incident happened. Without justification, police shot at the car from behind, the bullets penetrating through the body of the car and hitting Norizan who was seated at the back seat.

3) After being shot, Norizan was then kicked and stepped on by the police personnel despite bleeding profusely from being shot.

4) No person in the car was armed with any firearm and there was no threat of any kind to the police. Despite this, police chose to open fire repeatedly at the car.

5) Norizan is an innocent woman who has never been charged in court for any crime. She has suffered serious injuries including permanent damage to her hand. A bullet lodged close to her heart had to be removed by surgery at Institute Jantung Negara. Miraculously, Norizan has survived to tell the public what happened to her.

6) Norizan lodged a police report on 16.11.2009 complaining of attempted murder by police, but no action has been taken by the authorities against any police officer involved in her wrongful shooting and beating.

7) One of the other occupants of the car has told lawyers of how he was tortured by police in an attempt to get him to confess that the occupants of the car were involved in robbery. He alleges that police hung him upside down and chilli powder was rubbed on his body.

The complaint

1) Neither Norizan, nor any of the other occupants of the car, were armed with any weapon capable of posing any threat to the life or safety of the police personnel pursuing them.

2] The discharge of firearms by the police at the car, was intended to kill or seriously injure the occupants therein and not to stop the vehicle and apprehend the occupants.

3] The use of excessive force and shooting to kill by police in this case, is consistent with many other cases documented by activists. In almost every case, the police version of the events has been similar; that the victims opened fire and police returned fire, killing all of them. It has been easy for police to get away with this version, as the victims are usually dead and the truth buried. This has also been the police version in two recent shooting cases. [Kulim shooting (February 2009) and Klang shooting (November 2009)].

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED;

1. call upon Suhakam to institute an urgent public Inquiry into the shooting and beating of Norizan Salleh;
2. to advise the Government to take immediate steps to institute wide- ranging reforms in the police force and to implement fully the recommendations made by the Royal Police Commission.
