Uthaya's Mother lodges report today.


Detainee’s mum lodges report alleging plot to harm her son


SEREMBAN: The mother of ISA detainee P. Uthayakumar lodged a police report yesterday alleging that her diabetic son had been denied proper medical treatment and that there was a “silent agenda” to inflict harm on his health.


K. Kalaivaniy, 64, a widow who lives in Jalan Rasah, lodged the report at the district police station in Seremban Two at 12.10pm, accompanied by a group of Hindraf supporters.
Uthayakumar’s sister-in-law K. Shanti said the last time she saw him on Thursday at the Kamunting detention centre, Uthayakumar was weak and was denied his medication after being prematurely discharged from the Taiping hospital the day before.

Shanti, the wife of Hindraf chairman P. Waythamoorthy, who is now in London, added that Uthayakumar was also suffering from poor vision and alleged that his meals had excessive sugar.
Mother’s effort: Kalaivani arriving at the Seremban Two police station accompanied by Hindraf supporters to lodge the police report on Saturday.
Uthayakumar’s fiancee S. Indradevi also lodged a police report in Kuala Lumpur alleging that had been deprived of his diabetic medication.
Lawyer Uthayakumar, 46, was arrested with four other Hindraf leaders on Dec 13 for allegedly making speeches to incite hatred at a gathering in Batang Berjuntai on Nov 16.
They are being detained for two years under the Internal Security Act.

Meanwhile, Penang PKR called on the Prime Minister to ensure Uthayakumar received proper medical attention before his condition deteriorated further.
