Five ethnic Indian leaders, detained by the Malaysian government under a draconian security law, on Monday began a hunger strike to protest their incarceration and the alleged marginalisation of the community in the multiracial country.
The five men are leaders of the non-governmental http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2837 Action Front (Hindraf), which had organised a massive rally here on November 25 to voice grievances of ethnic Indians over alleged discrimination in the Muslim-majority country.
The government has denied the allegations.
Several supporters of the five leaders held under the tough Internal Security Act that allows indefinite detention without trial, also joined the hunger strike at two different temples, a lawyer of one of the detainees said. The supporters said while the five — P Uthayakumar, V Ganabathirau, T Vasanthakumar, R Kenghadharan and M Manoharan — would go on hunger strike inside the detention centre, they would do it outside for five days, one for each of the detained.
About 20,000 Indians took part in the November 25 rally.
