Suaram: Gov't persecuting us over Scorpene case

Human rights group Suaram has claimed that it is being persecuted by the authorities for having filed a case in the French courts on alleged corruption in Malaysia' purchase of two Scorpene-class submarines.

"The BN government has embarked on this shameful frame-up to the extent (of) perverting the government agencies and civil servants for this purpose,” said Suaram executive director E Nalini in a statement today.

“It is clear that these desperate actions by the government are attempts to discredit Suaram and its selfless service to the rakyat and to stop Suaram from revealing further damning evidence relating to the Scorpene scandal."
