The ethnic Indians in Malaysia have felt discriminated for decades. In November 2007 the organisation Hindraf, Hindu Rights Action Force, organised a demonstration to demand the same rights as the Chinese and Malay ethnic groups. The following weeks six of their leaders were arrested. One was released and fled immediately to London where he now lives in exile away from his family. The other five are held under the controversial security law, ISA, which makes it possible to keep them detained indefinately without a trial. On February 16th Hindraf organised another demonstration to demand the freedom of their leaders. They wanted to march to the Parliament and hand over roses to the Prime Minister as a sign of their good intentions. But the march was brutally stopped by the police.

This is a short news piece with a personal touch.
