                                        Last two ISA detainees to be sent Kamunting 

                                        10:05am, Thu: breaking news Keadilan leaders Dr Badrul
                                        Amin Bahron and Lokman Noor Adam, the remaining two of
                                        the 10 ISA detainees who were arrested in a police
                                        crackdown against reformasi activists, are to be sent to the
                                        Kamunting detention camp in Perak. 

                                        According to the counsel for the duo, R Sivarasa, the
                                        two-year detention orders were signed by Home Minister
                                        Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday. He told malaysiakini that
                                        he is expected to receive copies of their detention orders
                                        today. 

                                        Meanwhile, the habeas corpus applications of the two are
                                        to be heard in Shah Alam High Court beginning today. 

                                        Habeas corpus is a writ ordering prisoners to be brought
                                        before a court or judge to ascertain whether their detention
                                        is lawful. It is often applied for by lawyers for those held
                                        under the Internal Security Act which allows detention
                                        without trial for a minimum of two years following an initial
                                        60-day investigative period. 

                                        Both Badrul Amin and Lokman will join four others - Keadilan
                                        vice-president Tian Chua, Keadilan party Youth chief
                                        Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor, supreme council member Saari
                                        Sungib and social activist-cum-malaysiakini columnist
                                        Hishamuddin Rais - who were sent to Kamunting camp on
                                        June 3 after being interrogated by police for more than 45
                                        days. 

                                        Four have been released - two by order of the Shah Alam
                                        High Court and the other two by the police. 

                                        The 10 reformasi leaders were arrested in a police dragnet
                                        in early April to pre-empt what police chief Norian Mai
                                        described as a ‘militant attempt’ to overthrow the
                                        government through violent street demonstrations.
