Messages Of Solidarity From Kamunting

Tian and Hisham somehow managed to send these messages to Aliran on the occasion of its 25th anniversary dinner on 24 May 2003

Dear friends of Human Rights

tian Warmest greetings to all of you who are attending the Aliran dinner. We in the Kamunting Detention Camp wish to send our heartfelt thanks to your continuous efforts to support us and the campaign against the ISA in general.

We wish we would be with you tonight. We also long for the freedom to rejoin you and the struggle. The ISA has denied us our basic rights to voice out and to fight for democratic change in society.

However, we assure you that the 2-year ordeal has not broken our spirit. We are confident that the awareness of injustices is growing among the people. We are positive that Malaysia will eventually embrace human rights and discard inhumane laws - the fruit of our struggle, of course.

Your solidarity has kept our spirit high. Keep the candles burning!

All the best!

Tian Chua

Dear good people in Aliran

hisham Enjoy your dinner. Open a bottle of wine. Kiss your lover. Visit your parents this weekend. Give a call to your ex-lovers. Less accumulation - more distribution.

Feed a stray cat. Stay green. Less meat more legumes. Less anger, more laughter. Meditate not masturbate.

Read the sutras, bhagvadgita, torah, bible, quran, marxist, anarchist - stay happy, stay free.

Do this, do it now - before your freedom is taken by ISA.

No one is safe from ISA.

You could be with me now just because you wear a yellow underwear.

You could be with me now for having a nose ring.

You could be with me now for protecting the grass.

Get organised and stay free.

Open another bottle of wine - this time for me.
