Lawyer: Assault on Anwar's guard 'attempted murder'.

Jul 20, 2011 - The lawyer for Fayyahd Afiq Albakqry, a member of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's security detail who was injured while protecting his principal, says they view the action of the police as "causing bodily harm" and "attempted murder", as prescribed under criminal law.

The bodyguard's lawyer, N Surendran, who is also a PKR vice-president, said this when met by reporters in front of the Dang Wangi police district headquarters this afternoon after Fayyahd lodged a report over the police assault which resulted in his injuries.

"During the Hindraf rally, only one person threw a rock at police and yet 30 people were charged with attempted murder," reminded Surendren, saying that a similar charge must now stick upon police personnel who fired tear gas canisters directly into the crowd.

Fellow counsel R Sivarasa added that the police had committed three violations of accepted law enforcement conduct during the assault.
