Malaysian minister defends caning of prisoners as gruesome video appears on internet

By DAVID WILLIAMS - More by this author » Last updated at 20:48pm on 1st August 2007 Comments (54)
Strapped on a wooden frame, a prisoner braces himself for the brutal onslaught.

Within moments of the first blow being struck by the cane-wielding official, the skin on his buttocks breaks and the raw wound begins to open.
Lash after lash after lash follows until his flesh is reduced to a bloody mess. With each blow, the body flinches and there is a cry.

Prepare to suffer: The official raises his cane high in the air to deliver the first blow to the prisoner

The caning was meted out in a jail in Malaysia, where the authorities insist that it is a legitimate punishment.
However, a video of the flogging has caused an outcry after it was posted on the Internet and seen around the world.
In images condemned by Malaysia's own lawyers, the unidentified male prisoner, thought to be a drug dealer, is shown being struck 20 times on his bare buttocks with a rotan - a bamboo-like cane.
The Bar Council of Malaysia, which represents 8,000 lawyers, has called for such punishment to be abolished and stepped up its campaign after highlighting the video images.

Impact: The prisoner is heard crying out in pain on the video, which has angered human rights campaigners

The six-minute clip, entitled Malaysian Caning Judicial Corporal Punishment, was posted on LiveLeak.com - Redefining the Media, an international video-sharing site. "We are against the death penalty and corporal punishment," said council president Ambiga Sreenevasan.
"It's against all international human rights norms and the various conventions on torture. It's inhumane and degrading."

Raw: the results of the beating


However, deputy internal security minister Fu Ah Kiow defended the punishment. He said the video clip was recorded at a local prison and is used in drug prevention and other anti-crime campaigns.
He would not reveal details of the prisoner involved. But the man was understood to be a drug dealer who received dozens of lashes, as well as a lengthy prison term.
In the video, he is seen being led away after the beating then shown undergoing a medical examination.
The minister added: "The video is a means to educate the public and to show how hideous caning can be. It is a deterrence for drug traffickers and drug addicts.
"Somehow somebody duplicated it and posted it on the website, but it's not done by our officials. It is for education and training purposes, there's no big deal about it."
Flogging is widely used in Malaysia for various offences including drug crimes, rape and illegal entry into the country.

If you don't deal in drugs and wreck peoples lives you won't get whipped. Bring back the birch here, we wouldn't get so much repeat offending.

What were you punishing yourself for?

the man doing the caning appears to have a right buttocks bias.

Funnily enough I saw this today on the Daily Mail site and I was going to do a thread about either this or that comedian who's been downloading child porn.

I went to the mall and saw The Simpsons movie instead.

Predictably, the 'merkin fascists like this punishment, the same ones who spew forth their judgement about the "savages" who support Sharia-law.

falling timber on Mt. Adams Washington using a long [48" bar] and saw wound up to bore into a BIG Hemlock to check for rot, lost balance a bit and run the chain at 12K RPMs into my left knee.

I think that no punishment is to severe for someone that ruins young folks lives selling drugs, capitol punishment is not even to severe, look at the repeat drug offenders in every country, that at least would make em thing about it a bit.
And that has nothing to do with Sharia law that says you can kill your daughter because she didn't marry your old drinking partner, or that you can cut her clit off with an old rusty pair of scissors. or because she was raped.
Get your shit together if you are going to post with the big boys or keep you inane posts over on issues where a lot won't post anymore.

Hmm, what is it now - dealers, "addicts", both?
Do try to think before you post.

Yeah, BIG Boy, they should have done that with them alkies, booze-addicts, 30 years ago, and there wouldn't be a need for Bill W and this so-called softy "therapy" hankie-pankie.

I think that punishment should also go to parents who circumcise baby boys, only don't send them to jail afterwards but make them sit in a bowel of vinegar for ten minutes.

When did you hear about a guy drinking to much and causing other to follow in his tracks and ruin their lives with the booze??

Here is what was said he did, so I take it to be dealing.

He would not reveal details of the prisoner involved. But the man was understood to be a drug dealer who received dozens of lashes, as well as a lengthy prison term.

maybe you should read before posting such drivel. I see that getting all those deletions the other night has not settled you down a bit, so back on IGNORE for the s Troller..

Well, that would sort out the problem of overstayers if they brought it in here.
