Radio
Free Sarawak has now learnt that their DJ Peter John Jaban, known to
listeners as Papa Orang Utan, was hijacked by unidentified plain clothes
people, believed to be linked to Special Branch as he left the airport
at Miri this morning.
Peter had been detained at Kota Kinabalu
airport as he tried to return to Sarawak to celebrate Gawai with his
family. He was then escorted to the airplaine and warned that he would
be picked up by Special Branch at the other end.
Local PKR
branch leader Michael Teo and a lawyer Alan Ling met him at the airport
and said that they were able to take him away, despite a heavy police
presence, because there were no specific instructions to arrest him.
However, on the way from the airport, on the road to Miri town their
car was apparently stopped by another vehicle with three unidentified
plain clothes men, who took Peter from the car.
We are assuming
these men are associated with the authorities, but they illegally
failed to give their identities to the lawyer.
“To say we are
worried is an understatement” Clare Rewcastle Brown, Founder of Radio
Free Sarawak, has said today. “We are desperately trying to find where
Peter is and why he was pulled from a car without any proper reason by
unidentified people. The lawyer Alan Ling will be lodging a police
report immediately.
“Our immediate concern is that Peter is not
hurt. We need immediate information as to his whereabouts and his
lawyer should be allowed accesss to him immediately. We are also
concerned that he is subject to high blood pressure and on medication
and this health problem needs to be given proper attention. This
stressful situation will be very bad for his condition.”
