Police told to stop wasting time on probe into Teoh Beng Hock support group
Agora Society slams Pakatan for failing to find justice for one of its own.
(The Vibes) – THE police must stop wasting time investigating the people seeking justice for Teoh Beng Hock and instead concentrate on bringing to book those behind his death, a civil society movement said today.
Agora Society said the police must uphold the people’s fundamental right to assembly as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution.
“(Instead) the action and behaviour of the police are clearly aimed at harassing and suppressing the supporters and social activists in Teoh Beng Hock’s Justice Walk,” the movement said in a statement.
It criticised the government and the police for repeatedly failing to find justice for Beng Hock.
It said Pakatan Harapan had failed to uncover the truth in Beng Hock case during its first term of government in 2018.
“Now PH 2.0 has been in power for a year and eight months. Yet prime minister Anwar has avoided meeting the Teoh family for so long. Is this PH’s way of repaying Teoh Beng Hock, a member of DAP who sacrificed his life to defend the Pakatan Rakyat government of Selangor 15 years ago?
“If PH cannot account for the truth of the Teoh Beng Hock case and cannot even do justice, defend the rights and uncover the truth of its own party members, why should the people still believe that this government cares to do something for the lives of the common people?”
