By STEVEN DANIEL, The Star KUALA LUMPUR: ISA detainee Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who is the editor of Malaysia Today, was allowed to see his wife and two children at the Bukit Aman police headquarters on Tuesday.
Raja Petra's wife Marina Abdullah had arrived at the police headquarters accompanied by several supporters at 10.20am Tuesday but only she and her daughters, aged 19 and 34, were allowed to see Raja Petra. “He spoke very softly and looked weak, pale and tremendously thin,” Marina told reporters after her hour-long visit with her husband. Raja Petra complained to her that he was suffering from lack of sleep because the night before, he was “harassed” hourly by officers who recorded statements from him. “He said he was never physically abused, but was mentally abused,” she said Marina said her husband was not on a hunger strike as speculated by some quarters but added that his blood sugar level had dropped. “I am very worried for his safety,” she said, adding that her husband suffers from heart artery blockages and is on medication. “When he was taken away last Friday, he was allowed to take his medication with him but I am not sure if he is taking them,” she said. She said that during her one-hour meeting with her husband, they were constantly under the watchful eyes of at least three officers at any one time. Marina was not sure when her next meeting with her husband would be but she was sure that his lawyers would be seeing him on Thursday to discuss his imprisonment under the Internal Security Act (ISA). At 3.45pm Tuesday, she later filed a habeas corpus application at the High Court here seeking his immediate release. “Before I left, I told him that I will come back and get him within the next four days,” she said.
