>KUALA LUMPUR - Raja Petra Kamarudin's wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, claimed yesterday that the latest detention order on her husband was to preempt the hearing of his habeas corpus application on an earlier detention.
She said the order was unfair as it was signed at the "11th hour".
"They moved the goal post when we were about to strike," she said after proceedings at the High Court yesterday.
Marina said she was only told yesterday morning by a DSP Ibrahim from Bukit Aman that her husband was being sent to the Kamunting detention centre.
"This is ridiculous. It is all a political move," she said adding that a request will be made through Raja Petra's counsel, Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, for a written order on the detention.
"Every time they shift, we will shift too," Marina added.
She said the second detention order under Section 8(1) of the Internal Security Act was expected as Raja Petra's lawyers had anticipated it.
Marina will be making arrangements to visit Raja Petra at Kamunting soon and hoped the authorities there will take into account his low blood pressure and weak heart condition. -- NST
