The police today raided Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) legal adviser P Uthayakumar’s legal firm in Bangsar "to look for seditious material" to assist their investigation into an alleged sedition case.A nine-member police delegation led by ASP Reezaime Abdul Hamid arrived at Uthayakumar’s office at about 3pm and produced a search warrant before beginning their search.
Uthayakumar is currently under police custody, ostensibly being investigated for sedition.According to Uthayakumar’s staff, the raiding party from the Dang Wangi district headquarters is planning to seize computers and other documents. It also brought in the cyber forensic team to extract data from the computer hard-drive.This is the second police raid on Uthayakumar’s office over the past month. On Nov 19 a Dang Wangi police team raided the office to look for a publication entitled '50 Years of Violation of the Federal Constitution by the Malaysian Government'.
The 41-page booklet gives a detailed account of issues discussed by the Reid Commission at every meeting and memoranda submitted by various organisations in the run-up to the framing of the Federal Constitution.The police officers spent about an hour at Uthayakumar's office then before leaving at about 4.30pm without seizing anything on that occasion.Uthayakumar faces two sedition charges - one in Klang for allegedly making a seditious speech during a Hindraf function and another in Kuala Lumpur for allegedly writing a seditious letter.It is learnt that he may face a third sedition charge soon.
