The inquest into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock at the Shah Alam Magistrates Court has been postponed to August 5 at the request of lawyers representing the family, the Selangor Government and the Bar Council.
Some lawyers have argued that the law does not authorise the MACC to hold witnesses in custody, and that since Teoh was not a suspect, he should not have been held in custody. The Malaysian Human Rights Commission called the duration of Teoh’s questioning “inhumane and cruel.”
The president of the Bar Council, K. Ragunath, said the MACC had contravened the Federal Constitution by denying Teoh legal counsel during questioning, as well as the Lockup Rules 1953, which require all detainees to be locked up between 6.30pm and 6.30am in order to rest. Ragunath called Teoh’s interrogation tantamount to torture.
