Five out of 12 suspects who were charged with supporting defunct terrorist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have complained of mistreatment, torture or intimidation during their detention.
This prompted Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi to record statements from two accused persons in camera today, whereby the media were not allowed to cover the court proceedings.
The two accused person who will be recounting their experiences before Azura were grocery shop owner B Subramaniam, 57, and scrap metal dealer A Kalaimughilan, 28.
This is being done under Section 131 of the Criminal Procedure Code after Friday prayers.
Lawyer S Selvam, who applied for the court to hear the statement of his client Subramaniam told Malaysiakini that his client complained of being tortured.
"During the arrest and subsequent (detention in) 21 days, he was tortured and forced to say 'I am an LTTE member'," he said.
