Human rights group calls on the government to 'rein in cops, issue clear directive to stop arrests.'

The Inspector-Genera of Police should take responsibility for the conduct of the Royal Malaysian Police in supporting and assisting in the demolition of blockades and the arrest of Temiar activists in Gerik, Perak.on Orang Asli blockades at Gerik and other locations across Malaysia and called on IGP Abdul Hamid Bador to immediately release the activists and issue a directive 'reining in the police' over the matter.

"Furthermore, the IGP must answer for why no actions have been taken against the logging companies who were encroaching on Orang Asli lands. "The administration cannot, on the one hand, commit to protecting Orang Asli rights and on the other, have the police running contrary to the policy and supporting loggers and plantation owners in dismantling barricades and arresting community activists," said Suaram executive director Sevan Doraisamy.

Suaram also called for Harapan’s state governments to reflect its commitment at the federal level and suspend all activities and licenses that would encroach on Orang Asli ancestral lands.
