Lost Long Island dog turns up 2 years later near death in New Jersey
Posted: 8:09 PM, May 22, 2017

Cali is fighting for her life as her family prepares to bring her home.
HOWELL, N.J. — A 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback named Cali is to be reunited with her family after she disappeared from her own backyard on Long Island over two years ago, but she may only have so much time left.
"I whispered in her ear, please fight and I'll get you home to your family," said Anita Innamorata-Stout, vice president of Broken Promises Animal Sanctuary.
Cali was found bleeding and emaciated at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. Someone called the sanctuary, which took her to the vet for testing. Unfortunately, they uncovered a large tumor in her head that was putting pressure on her eyes and nose.
"We went into this not knowing whether she was going to live or die," said Innamorata-Stout.
They rushed her in for three days of emergency radiation.
"They originally gave her days. If she would make it through the treatment, we weren't sure. And now they're giving her somewhere between 10 months and 18 months. And it could be more or it could be less, it depends on how she responds."
With the help of a microchip implanted in her back, Cali's family has been located. The DiBartolo family has since relocated to North Carolina, but they are planning to make the drive up on June 4 to bring Cali home.
"They were sobbing that they lost her 2 years prior," said Innamorata-Stout.
Cali still gets nose-bleeds and her mood can waver from upbeat to drowsy, but both her family and Broken Promises Sanctuary are praying for a full recovery.
"Anything is possible at all. Where there is life there is hope."

ADISQ Seeks Internet Canadian Content Requirements
ADISQ, which promotes the Quebec recording industry, raised two noteworthy issues in a French-language article earlier this week (Google's translation). First, it opposes lawsuits against individual file sharers. Instead, it supports actions against Torrent trackers and similar sites. Second, it would like the CRTC to require ISPs to prioritize Canadian […]

Internet Video, Internet Regulation, and Canadian Content
My weekly Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) focuses on the growing push from the Canadian broadcasting community to revisit the CRTC's 1999 New Media decision, in which Canada's broadcasting regulator took a hands-off approach to the Internet. The support for greater regulation is often couched in Canadian content terms, but I argue that the current changes have the potential to dramatically alter Canadian content production from one mandated by government regulation to one mandated by market survival.
The issue began to percolate last June, when Canadian Heritage Minister Bev Oda asked the CRTC to conduct a six-month consultation on the effects of changing technology on the radio and television industries. The CRTC report, which was quietly released in mid-December, went almost unnoticed, yet submissions from broadcasters, copyright collectives, and labour unions all point to an increased regulatory role for the CRTC.
The underlying theme of many stakeholder submissions is that unregulated new media represents a threat to the current regulated Canadian content model.

The B-Safe 35 Elite is the newest rear-facing only infant carseat from Britax USA. Don't confuse this new model with the original B-Safe model. The Britax B-Safe 35 Elite is a completely different seat which shares the same platform as the newly released B-Safe 35 model but offers a no-rethread harness feature not found on the standard B-Safe 35 model. For more info on the B-Safe 35 (non-elite) model, see our full review here.
Each B-Safe 35 Elite comes with a lower body newborn insert (optional for babies 4-11 lbs.), a buckle cover and harness strap covers. The buckle cover and harness strap covers are entirely optional. If used, the infant insert cushion should be removed when the baby weighs more than 11 lbs.
Adjustable Base & Recline Angle Indicator – the B-Safe 35 and B-Safe 35 Elite models share the same 5-position adjustable base. This is an entirely different base than the one that came with the original Britax B-Safe model. The new B-Safe 35 & 35 Elite models are NOT compatible with the original B-Safe model bases. The 5 recline positions on this base make it easy to find the perfect recline angle in most vehicles (double check that you are on level ground to begin with). If your vehicle has steeply sloped seats and you can't achieve an acceptable recline angle even with the adjustable foot fully extended – Britax allows the use of a rolled towel or pool noodle in the seat bight. If you use pool noodles or a rolled towel – lower the adjustment foot on the base to its lowest (flush) position before adjusting the angle with noodles/towel.
The B-Safe 35 Elite is very easy to install with the premium push-on lower LATCH connectors. Extend the straps, attach the connectors to the lower anchor bars then pull on each center strap until the base is tight and doesn't move more than 1″ from side to side when you test for tightness *at the beltpath*. After the base is tight, feed the slack of the center straps into the base and you're good to go!
Center LATCH installations with non-standard LATCH spacing are NOT allowed. This means that you will need to install with seatbelt if you plan to install the base in the center seating position of most vehicles. There are some vehicles that have dedicated lower anchors for the center position but those vehicles are few and far between. When in doubt – measure the distance between the center of one lower anchor bar and the center of the other lower anchor bar. Standard LATCH spacing is 280 mm, which is just over 11 inches. If the spacing between the lower anchor bars in the center seating position of your vehicles is greater than that – you have non-standard LATCH spacing and you should use the seatbelt to install this base in that seating position. Or install the base in one of the outboard seating positions to take advantage of LATCH.
Installation With Seatbelt – The B-Safe 35 Elite is relatively easy to install with seatbelt in most vehicles thanks to the built-in lockoffs on the base. There is a lockoff on each side of the base but only use one – on the side where the shoulder belt goes up to the retractor. Only the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt is slipped into the lockoff which will cinch the belt and hold the base tightly in place.
For the record, I did run into an incompatibility issue with installing the base in the captain's chair of my 2005 Ford Freestar minivan. I could not achieve a tight installation using the seatbelt no matter how hard I tried or what tricks I employed. Installing with lower LATCH anchors yielded a much better install in this situation.
The low bottom harness slots combined with the optional lower body insert help this B-Safe 35 Elite model fit the vast majority of newborns and even preemies very well. The insert is optional but probably helpful for smaller newborns. Take the insert out once the baby weighs more than 11 lbs. The harness strap covers are purely optional and remove quickly and easily because they have Velcro on one side. For what it's worth, I almost always remove the harness strap covers on a newborn (if they're optional) because they just tend to get in the way more than anything else.
Adjusting harness strap length – the B-Safe 35 Elite comes out of the box with the harness attached to the metal splitter plate in the inner (upper) loops. This is the newborn setting. When your baby is over 11 lbs. you can take the straps off the splitter plate and reattach them at the bottom of the strap to allow a little bit more length in the straps. If you reuse the seat for subsequent babies you will want to remember to reset the straps to the smaller newborn setting.
Both the B-Safe 35 & 35 Elite models use Britax's Click & Go system to fit on any of their strollers. The B-Safe 35 Elite is compatible with the Britax B-Ready, B-Agile, B-Agile Double, & the brand new B-Free stroller. Note: The B-Agile Double can only accept one carseat. With the Britax adapter bar, you can also make this carseat compatible with BOB jogging strollers but keep in mind that it is not recommended that you actually jog with your stroller when an infant carseat is attached to it. Compatibility with other stroller brands will depend on whether that manufacturer offers a Britax adapter.
The B-Safe 35 Elite cover is easily removed and you don't need to detach the harness from the splitter plate to get the cover off. Getting the cover back on after it's washed is a little more time consuming but not overly difficult. Cover must be hand washed using cold water and mild soap. Line dry only.
Heavy carrier – weighs in at 11.4 lbs.
The Britax B-Safe 35 Elite is a solid contender in the current infant seat market thanks to its numerous safety and convenience features. The no-rethread harness, impact-absorbing base with SafeCell technology, lockoffs, large canopy and easy attachment system to Britax strollers are all welcome features. Plus, any Britax seat available in "Cowmooflage" has to be worthy of the Britax name, right? The potential downsides are the weight of the carrier, the narrow interior dimensions and the possibility that it may not install easily without the base. However, if the B-Safe 35 Elite fits your needs and installs well in your vehicle then it may be the perfect seat for you as long as you're aware of its quirks. As always, our sage advice is to "try before you buy". In cases where that isn't possible – at least hold onto the box and the receipt until you're sure this seat is going to work for you and your most precious cargo.
Thank you to Britax USA for supplying this B-Safe 35 Elite sample for review. No other compensation was provided. All opinions expressed are those of CarseatBlog.
Is the side head rest (the wings) adjusts at all? My baby seems a little claustrophobic with it. His head is a little big. Does this feature come off or can it be adjusted so it's not so tight around the head?
No, the wings aren't width-adjustable. Just make sure the harness is adjusted properly so that it's coming from at or just below his shoulders. It may be possible that the harness is adjusted to the wrong level and he's reacting to that. If not, it's certainly OK to switch him to a convertible carseat that either doesn't have headwings or has them further apart.
i feel like the buckle across the lap is off on mine? the straps dig into my sons legs more so than coming across his hips? can this be adjusted? suggestions?
Quick question: Our newborn girl has hip dysplasia. How does the Britax B-Safe Elite handle this issue? Is it a suitable car seat for this issue or should we exchange for something else? Thank you!
Any news on whether or not that rumored base with ARB is coming?
Alyssa – at this time we don't have any updates on that. Sorry! I promise that we will share that news if and when it becomes available.
Annoying that the base does not go on an airplane but since it's difficult to use without the base, you need to still bring it with you when you get to your destination.

Bonsignore: Rams unleash 14 years of frustration on Seahawks

December 17, 2017 at 6:46 p.m.
SEATTLE — It's an anger that's been building for nearly two decades. All those years of losing. All those years of ridicule. The snide remarks. The blatant mocking behind their backs. The laughter.
The Rams had only themselves to blame, of course. It was their problem, created by their doing. Those 14 non-winning seasons, the NFL worst 46-113-1 record they produced from 2006-2017. It was all on them.
Todd Gurley and defense lead Rams to blowout of Seattle and brink of NFC West title
Photos: Rams roll past Seattle Seahawks
But the ridicule hurt. It would be dishonest to say otherwise. Even worse, they were incapable of doing anything about it. Done in by feeble rosters, incapable coaches and deficient quarterbacks.
So they had to sit there and take it.
All that losing. All those insults.
A fella can bottle up or try to bury that kind of outrage and anger all he wants. But it's eventually going to come bumbling over and out. The only question is, will it boil over in a good way or bad way?
Oh, this was good all right. This was very good.
Finally equipped with the necessary talent and the right coach and a viable quarterback, the Rams unleashed more than 14 years of anger and resentment Sunday. The unlucky recipient of it all was the Seattle Seahawks, although it almost seems by design rather than happenstance that it was their long-time division nemesis that was on the other end of the vicious beatdown they delivered that puts them in control of the NFC West.
Through all the Rams misery over the years, it was the Seahawks essentially running the division the teams shared. The 49ers had a moment or two. The Cardinals did too. But it was the Seahawks who went to three Super Bowls and called all the shots. And it was Seattle everyone's always had to deal with to make before making their move.
Which made Sunday a a very necessary and very symbolic exercise in the assencision of the Rams.
"These guys have been kicking our ass the last 10, 15 years," Todd Gurley said. "You gotta enjoy it. You gotta take advantage of a situation like this."
And take advantage the Rams did.
Given the opportunity to essentially knock out the Seahawks and take control of the division, and firmly and finally renounce all that baggage they've been carrying around, the Rams went all Michael Corleone on Sunday.
They took care of all family business in a remarkably thorough and convincing 42-7 win to move to 10-4 and secure a two-game division lead with two games left to play.
They played with an edge and sense of urgency fueled not just by the last 14 years, but by missed opportunities this year, including a frustrating loss to the Seahawks in October, in which small details and self-inflicted wounds did them in more than anything any opponent did.
"I think there was a lot of anger between us because we really felt very disappointed in ourselves in how we played the first time," said Andrew Whitworth. "We really had a lot of opportunities to win that game and just didn't. That meant a lot to us, to have that opportunity and go get it. I think guys felt that all week. There was an emotion behind that all week, and it showed today."
And it's a chip they vow will remain on their shoulder the rest of the year.
"The way we're so focused, to play the rest of the season with the type of tenacity to show we're a driving force in this league, is huge for us," guard Rodger Saffold said.
Be afraid, NFL.
Be very, very afraid.
A monster that's been caged up for 14 years is on the loose.
And as they showed on Sunday by tying up all loose ends and taking care of the ball and playing with composed anger, they are as scary as any team in the league.
"They played way better than us," Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said. "You have to give them credit. They've been playing great all year. They came ready to play."
It was, to put it mildly, a sight to behold.
Gurley ran proudly and angrily while thrashing the Seahawks for 152 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries and, just to tag on an exclamation point, added 28 yards and another touchdown through the air.
Aaron Donald was simply a man possessed while loudly proclaiming himself the best defensive player on the planet. He terrorized the Seahawks offensive line, as unblockable a force as you'll ever see, and chased down Russell Wilson for three sacks.
The Rams defense put a knee to the Seahawks throats and, save for a meaningless second-half touchdown, never relented. In doing so, it enabled Jared Goff and Gurley and the Rams offense to build a 40-0 lead before the end of the third quarter.
Goff was efficient while completing 14 of 21 passes for two touchdowns. The one interception he threw was on a fourth-down heave deep in Seahawks territory. But the Rams defense rendered it meaningless by stuffing the Seahawks ensuing possession.
Pharoh Cooper, no longer a just a hidden special-teams secret but now a full-fledged weapon, picked up 128 punt return yards — including a pair over 50 yards — to continually set the Rams up in favorable field position.
"We kept getting it around the 50, it felt really good," Goff said. "Pharoh had a great day. Probably his best day all year. But he's been tremendous for us all year."
It was as complete an effort as the Rams have delivered all year. And in many ways, a culmination of every win, every loss, every triumph and every frustration they've experienced.
The Rams have drawn something from everything they've gone through. This year and all the years that preceded it.
"And a lot of times we've found that so many of these games just come down to the fundamentals. And we attack the fundamentals like no other," Saffold said. "And the next thing you know our fundamentals are completely sound. Our operation is flawless. We come up with these huge wins because we are functioning so efficiently throughout the entire game. And you see all three teams doing it — offense defense, special teams."
The Rams have been angry for years.
They were simply incapable of doing anything about it. So they sat there and took it.
That all ended on Sunday.
And it was a sight to behold.

Wake up, sit up, and drink a tall glass of water. Yes, before coffee! Get ahead with your body's hydration, and you'll feel more energized throughout your day. Your vocal cords are fed by tiny capillaries that need water to maintain robust strength. You might even find that excess throat clearing (bad for your cords!) decreases, as the water thins out extra mucus hanging around in the sinuses and throat. Water up!
I designed this one for my clients. There is ample scientific evidence proving that deep breathing brings multiple benefits to the human body. During this process, the parasympathetic nervous system gets triggered and starts to implement its calming, soothing, anti-inflammatory effects. Your voice needs full, robust breath support to be its best, and getting more in touch with your respiratory system will help. Breathe in peace, breathe out calm.
Any kind of anti-inflammatory lifestyle choices can positively impact your voice. The vocal cords and respiratory system are subject to the same effects of inflammation as the rest of you. Reducing it can greatly improve the clarity, fullness, and power of your voice. An anti-inflammatory diet is a good place to start. Enjoy the taste of good health.
This one is controversial, but in my experience it's worth considering. For the record, I am a strict "no-dairy" person. Too much dairy can cause excess mucus to form in the ear, nose and throat, and this can all impact your voice in a negative way. Aside from having to constantly clear your throat, your vocal tone can come out muffled and weak. I've observed that my clients' voices clear up considerably after a period of "dairy rest". Dairy has also been linked to digestive, menstrual, and skin issues. If you suffer from any of these, you might want to step back from the pizza and yoghurt. Calcium and probiotic supplements can fill in for things your body might miss.
A singer takes time every day to warm-up their voice through dedicated vocal exercises. This process is vital to the long-term health and stamina of singers' voices. Public speakers also do some vocal warm-ups that prepare them for their speeches. A good vocal coach can work with you to design specific exercises for your voice (contact me if you'd like a private session: alicia@aliciadara.com). This is a great way to commit to the long-term health and power of your voice. In the short term, try humming! Light, gentle humming keeps your vocal cords active. Music can also trigger good brain chemicals to start flowing, which can greatly improve your mood. Or try full-on singing! Just make sure you're safe from judgmental eyes and ears. My clients sing in the shower, in the car, or in the kitchen when fans are running on the stove. Try it!

33 When they heard that, they were divided and took counsel to slay them. 34 Then a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, who had a reputation among all the people, stood up in the council and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space 35 and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as concerning these men.
The Apostles On Trial Before The Sanhedrin
Certain Man
I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel and taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
And it came to pass that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions.
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
Surely the wrath of man shall cause praise to come unto thee; the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.

There are two primary ways in which one can repay loans: installments or revolving loans. Under the former, the entire lump sum, known as the principal, is given to the borrower, which can then be repaid over a fixed number of periods. The time periods may be either years or months, which is agreed upon by the borrower and the seller. This loan structure is known as the closed-ended loan as everything, from the number of months of repayment to the amount to be repaid per month, is fixed right at the time of taking out the loan.
The revolving credit line on the other hand, is much more flexible and allows them to repay back as much as they want per month. However, the rates of interest on such a financing structure is adjustable and so one might end up a victim of higher interest rates over time.
The rate of interest is the main factor that determines how much a consumer would have to repay over the set duration of the loan. Although it is important to consider the annual percentage rate, that is the rate to be paid over the period, it is also important to consider the type of repayment. Under the adjustable rate, they can specify the rate payable during the initial repayment phase.
This is great for people that want their repayment to be low initially. If they do decide to opt for the adjustable rate scheme, they should make sure there are caps on how high the rates can adjust. The second type of interest rate is the fixed rate, which most people prefer, as it is easily predictable over time.
A common tendency that most people tend to over look when comparing various personal loans is the term of the loan. The loan term is what helps the borrower decide what to do should he or she wish to modify the loan.
Some types of modification of loans include consolidation, refinancing and even settling the debt. While they might be under the impression that such a loan modification is not important, they should remember that there is an extremely high probability of circumstances changing over time. In such cases, a loan modification would be necessary, so it is important for them to know the common loan penalties and fees that will be incurred for such a modification.
Default means that the buyer has not repaid the premium amount within the fixed upon period. Common loan penalties in certain states require that the lender notify the borrower about any defaulted payment prior to the seizure of his collateral.
The law in other states allows lenders of money to directly collect the collateral without any prior intimation to the borrower regarding the default. Knowing the various loan default laws of the state can protect you from any negative default.

Steinway Educational Partner — Join Today!
For more than 163 years Steinway has been an avid supporter of music education. From the beginning of Steinway's history, when Loretta Steinway gave piano lessons to prospective clients to secure a piano sale, to our present day support for music festivals worldwide, we have believed that music education is of the utmost importance. In return, we have enjoyed assisting students and their families in making the best decisions about their musical investment. For this reason, we call this program the Steinway Showroom Affiliate Program.
The Steinway Showroom Affiliate Program is designed to support and further music education by providing quality instruments to piano teaching community music schools. Through this program, New Music School received a loan of Steinway and Steinway-designed pianos for all our teaching studios. In return, New Music School will act as a showroom for Steinway & Sons, allowing the pianos to be viewed and sold during non-teaching hours.
NMS and Steinway have worked together to select a few models that we recommend. If you choose to go outside these options, please contact NMS so we can help with your selection.
Because we know students who learn on keyboards quit after the first year of study because they can't achieve our expectations of them, NMS has a firm no-keyboard policy after the first year of study. This includes any Yamaha Clavinova branded instrument.


Osaka, Japan and Geneva, Switzerland - 5 April, 2018 — Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4502), ("Takeda") and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative ("DNDi") today announced that they have signed an agreement to collaborate in conducting preclinical and phase I clinical studies on drug candidate compounds that had been discovered among the aminopyrazole compound class, aimed at developing an innovative drug for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
The project has been selected for funding by the Global Health Innovative Technology Fund ("GHIT"). GHIT is an international public private partnership fund that facilitates global R&D partnerships for the discovery and development of new health technologies needed in developing countries. The Takeda-DNDi partnership will receive a sum of approximately 600 million yen from GHIT in support of its studies.
In July 2015, Takeda and DNDi launched a programme to collaborate in the "Lead Optimization Programme" aimed at identifying the best compound among aminopyrazole series for developing an innovative drug for the treatment of VL. The ultimate aim of this project is to develop a new drug that is orally active, safe, effective, short-course, field-adapted and will ideally be administered in combination with another oral treatment to avoid resistance as much as possible.
Through this Programme with GHIT, Takeda and DNDi will build partnerships and create innovative approaches towards improving access to medicines, and thereby contribute to the development of treatments for "Neglected Tropical Diseases".
Over 1 billion people around the world in over 90 countries are at risk of leishmaniasis, which is transmitted by the bite of a sandfly. VL is the most serious form of leishmaniasis, causing fever, weight loss, spleen and lever enlargement, and anemia and, if left untreated, death; 50,000 to 90,000 new cases and cose to 30,000 deaths are reported a year. Another form of the disease, cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), with 600,000 to 1 million new cases every year, can lead to disfiguration and stigmatization for people affected. Current treatments remain costly, difficult to administer, not adapted to field conditions in endemic countries, of too long duration, or poorly tolerated.
In addition to this partnership, in 2015 Takeda and DNDi partnered to start the "Neglected Tropical Diseases Drug Discovery Booster" project, designed to accelerate and expand the discovery of new drugs for treating leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. The Drug Discovery Booster project has also been confirmed as a recipient of funding from GHIT, commencing April 2018.
Over the years, Takeda has continued to address health challenges on a global scale by delivering drugs, providing financial assistance, and improving access to medicines in numerous countries, with a focus on regions and disease areas that have high levels of unmet medical needs. Through a variety of programs aimed at alleviating the burden of disease, Takeda will continue in its drive for better health and a brighter future for all.

Report of criminal proceedings against P. Uthayakumar before Sepang Magistrate's Court on 8 April 2003
In a report released today on the trial of a Malaysian human rights lawyer representing the family of a youth who died in police custody, the ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers finds that the aim of the prosecution was to intimidate and harass him in his work as a lawyer.
I. Executive Summary
This is the final report on the criminal proceedings against Mr. P. Uthayakumar, a human rights lawyer and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur who was charged with two offenses of insulting and interrupting a public servant during judicial proceedings and one offense of criminal intimidation contrary to Articles 228 and 506 of the Penal Code. The ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers appointed an observer, Mr. Charles Briefel, Barrister of England and Wales, to observe and report on the proceedings which took place on 8 April 2003 at the High Court at Shah Alam. This is the first such intervention by the High Court in Malaysia in proceedings of this nature against a lawyer.
The charges stem from Mr. Uthayakumar's alleged conduct during and immediately after a coroner's inquest hearing at Sepang Magistrates Court on 3 September 2002 into the death of a nineteen-year old youth whilst in police custody. Mr. Uthayakumar was acting on a pro-bono basis on behalf of the family of the deceased and was arrested at the steps of the court on 16 January 2003, detained overnight in police custody and then charged. After his arrest and first appearance at the Magistrates Court on 21 January 2003 on the criminal charges, Mr. Uthayakumar applied to the High Court for "Revision" of the case against him, pursuant to Section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code, requesting that he be discharged. The basis of the Application for Revision to the High court was that the prosecution was groundless, frivolous, vexatious, brought male fides and constituted an abuse of process.
At the High Court hearing, the prosecution confirmed its intention to withdraw the first two charges of insulting and interrupting a public servant during judicial proceedings. This decision followed representations made in March to the Attorney-General by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Dato Param Cumaraswamy. Legal argument therefore concentrated on the remaining charge of criminal intimidation. The High Court ruled in favor of Mr. Uthayakumar on 5 May, ordering that he be discharged. On 29 May Mr. Uthayakumar appeared at the Sepang Magistrates Court and was formally discharged. The Attorney General has filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeal against the decision of the High Court. The Attorney General has also submitted a formal complaint against Mr. Uthayakumar to the Disciplinary Board of the Bar Council.
The Malaysian legal system has been under international scrutiny for its prosecution of lawyers. The arrest and prosecution of Mr. Uthayakumar should thus be considered within the context of previous prosecutions against lawyers and previous reports that lawyers in Malaysia have been facing difficulties in carrying out their work freely and independently. Within this context, it was inevitable that Mr. Uthayakumar's case would attract considerable attention and elicit criticism about the authorities who displayed a lack of judgment and the prosecution which sought to hinder, intimidate and harass Mr. Uthayakumar in his work as a human rights lawyer.
The ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers is concerned about the original decision of the Attorney-General [1] to proceed against Mr. Uthayakumar and is troubled about the circumstances of Mr. Uthayakumar's arrest, his detention and treatment in custody. Although the ICJ welcomes the eventual decision of the Attorney General to withdraw the first two charges, it is disappointed that the Attorney-General nevertheless chose to proceed on the remaining criminal intimidation charge: Mr. Uthayakumar, therefore, still faced the prospect of being sentenced to a term of imprisonment of up to seven years.
The ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers commends the decision of the High Court to order the discharge of the criminal intimidation charge and welcomes the forthright comments of the judge in support of the independence of lawyers. In the circumstances of this case, the ICJ believes that any charge of alleged unprofessional conduct could have been dealt with by the Disciplinary Board of the Bar Council after the conclusion of the inquest proceedings in which Mr. Uthayakumar was appearing without resorting to his arrest, detention and criminal prosecution. The ICJ reminds the authorities in Malaysia of their international obligations not to identify lawyers with their clients' causes and allow lawyers to perform their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or prosecution.
II. Proceedings
A. Information about the Defendant
Mr. Uthayakumar is an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur. He was called to the Malaysian Bar on 23 January 1993. He is legal advisor to the Police Watch and Human Rights Committee and Secretary General of a new political party, the Malaysian Peoples Reform Party, (Party Reformasi Insan Malaysia, PRIM). Over the last ten years Mr. Uthayakumar has acted in a number of cases relating to abuse of police powers, deaths in police custody, police shootings, and police inaction. [2] He frequently appears on a pro-bono basis in high profile cases alleging human rights abuses against the Royal Malaysian Police Force, acting on behalf of victims or the families of victims. In 2002, Mr. Uthayakumar had conduct of three cases of death in police custody from 21 June 2002 to 4 August 2002 and another three cases of fatal shootings by the police between 24 August to 7 September 2002. He has lodged over a hundred complaints against the police. He has drawn attention to the fact that 2002 saw a significant increase in deaths in police custody and that from January to September 2002 a total of 18 persons died in police custody "representing one death in police custody every 2 weeks". This issue was raised in Parliament with the Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung on 14 October 2002.
B. The Prosecution Case
The Coroner's Inquest at Sepang Magistrates Court which is the subject of the charges against Mr. Uthayakumar relates to the death in custody of a 19 year old youth identified as Tharmarajen. Tharmarajen was arrested by the Ibu Pejabet Kontijen police on 3 April 2002 and detained at a number of police stations for consecutive periods of 14 days. At Putrajaya Police Station, after a total period of police detention of approximately 2 months, he became seriously ill and, after being conveyed to Putrajava hospital, died on 21 June 2002. The family of the deceased alleges that he was subjected to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. Mr. Uthayakumar has been representing the family on a pro-bono basis (at the date of writing this report, the inquest has yet to have been concluded).
At the first day of the inquest on 3 September 2002, Mr. Uthayakumar was cross-examining police witness P. From the outset, the family of the deceased has blamed P, who was the arresting and investigating officer, for the death of Tharmarajen. By all accounts, the exchange in court became increasingly heated and a number of people in the public gallery became highly agitated, venting their anger at P. During cross-examination Mr. Uthayakumar accused P of criminal negligence, and threatened to submit a complaint against the officer to the Bukit Aman Police Headquarters. The magistrate ordered Mr. Uthayakumar to stop the line of questioning and that if he did not, he would be ordered to leave the court. Mr. Uthayakumar responded that he would not leave the court and continued with his questioning, at which point the magistrate adjourned the hearing.
Immediately after the case was adjourned, P and lawyers from the Deputy Public Prosecutor's office alleged that Mr. Uthayakumar threatened P. Prosecution statements give varying versions of what Mr. Uthayakumar is alleged to have stated to P – "You watch out, I will fix you, we (will) fix you" or just "I will fix you" or just "We will fix you". Mr Uthayakumar denies using such language but admits using words to the effect that he was serious about submitting a complaint against P to Bukit Aman Police Station.
C. The Arrest
Mr. Uthayakumar was arrested some four and a half months after the alleged incident. The arrest took place on 16 January 2003 at 4:30 p.m. on the steps of Sepang Magistrates' Court after a further hearing of the inquest into the death of Tharmarajen in which Mr. Uthayakumar was continuing to act on behalf of the deceased's family. Mr. Uthayakumar alleges that between 20 to 30 officers took part in his arrest in the full view of his clients, the press and the public. He alleges that he was not informed of the grounds of arrest, contrary to Article 5(3) of the Federal Constitution. He was conveyed to Sepang Police Station where he was allegedly kept in police custody until 5:30 p.m. the next day i.e. for 25 hours and thereby in contravention of Article 5 of the Federal Constitution which stipulates a maximum of 24 hours. The police claim that he was released at 1:30 p.m. By either account, Mr. Uthayakumar was kept in custody overnight. During his detention he alleges that he was verbally abused, stripped to his underwear and denied basic living conditions (toiletries brought to the police station by his family) in breach of the Lock Up Rules 1953. He also states that he was denied access to his family. On 20 January 2003, Mr. Uthayakumar lodged two complaints concerning his arrest and treatment in police custody, the first being against the officers who allegedly mistreated him, and the second against P for lodging the false report which resulted in his arrest. Mr. Uthayakumar points out that unlike the complaint made against him by P, his complaint has never been investigated. This indicates, in his view, a lack of an even-handed approach by the authorities and breaches Article 8 of the Federal Constitution that states that "all persons are equal before the law".
D. Charges
Mr. Uthayakumar was charged on 21 January 2003 (the day after he submitted the two complaints concerning his arrest and detention in police custody) at Sepang Magistrates Court. He was charged with two offenses of violating Section 228 of the Penal Code (one alleging that he intentionally insulted the magistrate and the alternative charge that he intentionally interrupted the magistrate). [3]
Section 228 of the Penal Code provides as follows:
"Whoever intentionally offers any insult or causes any interruption to any public servant, while such public servant is sitting in any stage of a judicial proceeding, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months or with a fine which may extend to two thousand ringgit, or with both."
Although Section 228 has been commonly referred to as an "offense of contempt" it should be distinguished from the contempt power applicable in Malaysia by virtue of Section 3 of the Civil Law Act 1956. In contrast to Section 228, the law of Contempt of Court in Malaysia is a law of strict liability. The test is whether the matter complained of had the tendency or was calculated to interfere with the due administration of justice or to scandalize the court, not whether the accused intended the result.
Mr. Uthayakumar was also charged with criminal intimidation contrary to Section 506 of the Penal Code which states as follows:
"Whoever commits the offense of criminal intimidation shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or a fine, or with both; and if the threat be to cause death or grievous hurt, or to cause the destruction of any property by fire, or to cause an offense punishable with death or imprisonment, or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, or impute unchastity to a woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years, or with fine, or with both."
The offense of criminal intimidation is defined under Section 503 as follows:
Whoever threatens another with any injury to his person, reputation or property of anyone in whom that person is interested, with intent to cause alarm to that person, or to cause that person to do any act which he is legally bound to do, or to omit to do any act which that person is legally entitled to do, as the means of avoiding the execution of such threat, commits criminal intimidation.
On 31 January 2003, M Manoharan & Co, lawyers on behalf of Mr. Uthayakumar filed an application to the High Court of Malaya at Shah Alam under Section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code for "Revision", to discharge the case on the basis that it was groundless, brought in bad faith, vexatious, and an abuse of process. According to the revisionary powers under Section 323, "the judge may call for and examine the record of any proceedings before any inferior criminal court for the purpose of satisfying himself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of any finding, sentence or order recorded or passed, as to the regularity of any proceedings of such inferior court".
It was also submitted on behalf of Mr. Uthayakumar that the charges were defective in that the charge of criminal intimidation failed to identify the "grievous harm" and that the particulars were incomplete (the charge was, rather, based on the complaint of P, the police witness accused by Mr. Uthayakumar of being responsible for the death of the youth Tharmarajen). It was submitted in the Section 323 application that the Sepang Magistrates Court should therefore have discharged the case against Mr. Uthayakumar pursuant to Section 173(g) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
E. Conduct of the Presiding Judge
The High Court application was presided over by Judge Datuk Haji Suriyadi Bin Halim Omar. In the meetings conducted by the Observer during his mission it was clear that this judge is held in very high esteem for his independence, integrity and ability. This view was shared by Mr. Uthayakumar and his lawyers. The Observer was satisfied with the Judge's conduct during the hearing. It was clear that the Judge had a strong command of the issues and the legal complexities of the case. He presided over the hearing with a competent, fair, but firm, hand. He was critical of the handling of the case by both the police and the Office of the DPP. Mr. Uthayakumar's counsel were provided with satisfactory opportunity to present their arguments (no witnesses were called). The Judge's ruling delivered on 5 May 2003 (see below) was detailed, comprehensive and well reasoned. The ICJ welcomes the forthright comments contained in the ruling in support of the independence of lawyers.
F. Judgement
The ruling of Judge Datuk Haji Suriyadi Bin Halim Omar was delivered on 5 May 2003.
The Judge reiterated the power of the High Court to, "examine records of proceedings in the subordinate court wherever it considers that in doing so the purpose of justice will be served, especially when the record discloses no offense or when the accused is subjected to a vexatious and groundless prosecution". He stated that discharge may be warranted when the absence of grounds is clearly established by the evidence on record, making the attainment of a conviction impossible.
The Judge was highly critical of the fact that the preliminary hearing took place before the same magistrate that presided over the coroner's inquest, describing it as 2an aberration in the administration of justice". He also held that Mr. Uthayakumar had been prejudiced by the defective wording of the charge reiterating the principle that "it is fundamental in the system of justice as we know it that a person accused must be informed clearly of the charge against him and further it is a fundamental rule that an allegation must be stated with sufficient precision to enable the accused to meet the allegation and properly prepare his defense". He concluded that apart from the charge being badly framed much to the prejudice of the applicant, it was rebutted at the outset of the case by the notes of proceedings prepared by the Court. Conviction was therefore impossible. The Judge held that the Section 506 charge was groundless and fell squarely within the ambit of Section 173(g) of the Criminal Procedure Code. Ordering that Mr Uthayakumar be discharged pursuant to the court's revisionary powers under Section 323, the Judge then stated the following:
This discharge must not be construed as an indication of any desire to disallow this prosecution, whether as a matter of policy or otherwise, of which I have no power, but primarily a decision based on the available records. The court's regrets are secondary to the awesome power of the Public Prosecutor, in relation to preferring a charge against the applicant, engaged at the very outset to perform his time-honored duty, but sidetracked perhaps by ineffectual and empty bravado. As an observation, if there was truth as per the allegation of the charge, here was a mere man, armed without any resources except enthusiasm, who had the temerity in an unguarded moment, having picked on no less than a personnel of another powerful State institution, backed by equally powerful resources. It is gratifying that the counsel has apologized to the learned magistrate, and the Right Honorable Attorney General, through his officer, has indicated that the contempt proceedings against the applicant would be withdrawn. Further, due to the chequered history of this case, and wide reporting of the matter, the police department, the legal fraternity and the court, are uncomfortably under intense scrutiny of the public. Perhaps this whole sad episode could be put to rest permanently, if all parties were to put their heads together, and goodwill prevailing.
III. Evaluation of the Fairness of the Proceedings
There are serious concerns about the original decision to proceed against Mr. Uthayakumar, the circumstances of his arrest as outlined above, his claim that he was not informed of the grounds of arrest, the decision to detain him, his treatment in custody and the lack of specificity of the charges. Mr. Uthayakumar's complaint that the inquest hearing at Sepang Magistrates' Court on 21 January 2003 was conducted by the same magistrate who presided over the inquest hearing on 3 September 2002 was reiterated by the High Court. The magistrate was a material witness in relation to the charges faced by Mr. Uthayakumar. It is very difficult to reconcile this situation with the guarantees of fairness and impartiality pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, [4] although in Mr. Uthayakumar's case this magistrate only presided over the preliminary hearing and not the trial itself.
As far as the Section 323 application for Revision at the High Court is concerned, Mr. Uthayakumar was ably represented by his lawyers M. Manoharan & Co (three advocates on a pro-bono basis). No restrictions were placed upon Mr. Uthayakumar's ability to present his case. Defense counsel were able to put forward their case by way of oral and detailed written submissions. As stated above the Judge presided over the hearing with a competent, fair, but firm, hand. The Observer received no complaints from Mr. Uthayakumar or his lawyers about the Section 323 application process or any aspects of the hearing. [5] There is no suggestion that they were denied adequate preparation time.
IV. Other Applicable Law and Principles
The Legal Profession Act 1976 (LPA 1976) establishes the Bar, of which all advocates and solicitors of the High Court are members, and the Bar Council. The Malaysian Bar Council is an autonomous body created by statute, whose primary purpose under Section 42 (1)(a) is to "uphold the cause of justice without regard to its own interests or that of its members, uninfluenced by fear or favour." At all times members of the legal profession should act with due regard for the requirements of professional practice and conduct in court as set out in Part VI of the LPA 1976 and the relevant rules. West Malaysian lawyers are professionally organised by the LPA 1976. In addition, practice standards are governed by the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules 1978, the Bar Council Rulings 1997, and the Conveyancing Practice Rulings. Lawyers in Sabah and Sarawak are professionally organised by the Advocate Ordinance of Sabah and the Advocate Ordinance of Sarawak.
The prosecution of a lawyer in respect of statements made in court breaches Principle 20 of the United Nations 1990 Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers. This principle guarantees lawyers civil and penal immunity for statements made in good faith in oral or written proceedings before a court. It is a basic duty of a lawyer to properly represent the interests of a client and provide a full and adequate defense. The charging of a lawyer for statements made in court improperly associates a lawyer with his client's cause and represents an unjustified interference in the performance of a lawyer's professional duties.
V. Background and Context
The prosecution of Mr. Uthayakumar should be considered in the context of previous prosecutions of lawyers. [6] Reports such as Justice in Jeopardy (co-authored by ICJ) [7] conclude that lawyers in Malaysia have been facing difficulties in carrying out their work freely and independently. The prosecution of lawyers has led to tension between the Government, Judiciary and the Bar Council and given rise for concern as to the ability of lawyers to render their services free from threats or harassment.
The above-mentioned Justice in Jeopardy report, recommended, inter alia, that:
The courts should act with great forbearance and restraint in the use and threatened use of the contempt power [for alleged professional misconduct] in respect of lawyers who are acting in their professional capacity. The power should only be used as a last resort when all other means of achieving the proper result have failed. When considering whether contempt proceedings against lawyers practising their profession are appropriate, due regard should be paid by the court to the sometimes delicate and difficult situations lawyers in practice, have to face. Unprofessional conduct by lawyers should be dealt with by the Disciplinary Board after the conclusion of the hearing, except in cases where the continuation of the process fairly is impossible.
The Malaysian Bar Council has also had occasion in the past to speak out when the police have exerted undue pressure on lawyers. [8] It noted that there has been a significant improvement in the relationship between the Bench and the Bar with the appointment of the new Chief Justice, Judge Tan Sri Mohamad Dzaiddin Abdullah, who was sworn into office in December 2000. [9] The Council stressed that he has taken positive steps to improve the administration of justice and to strengthen ties with the Malaysian Bar. Judge Tan Sri Mohamad Dzaiddin Abdullah stated that his first and main agenda would be to restore the public's confidence in the judiciary by making changes in respect of "seeing justice done", reducing the numerous citations for contempt and fostering a better relationship with the Bar. His appointment was welcomed inside and outside of Malaysia. The Malaysian Bar, in a press statement on 20 December 2000, called his appointment "most welcome" and found him "eminently suited to this task." The UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Dato Param Cumaraswamy, in his 2001 report to the 57th UN Commission on Human Rights, called the appointment of Judge Tan Sri Mohamad Dzaiddin Abdullah "a positive development, which was enthusiastically welcomed by all." The arrest and prosecution of Mr. Uthayakumar therefore occurred at a time of a perceived improvement in the relationship between the Bar and the Judiciary in Malaysia. [10]
VI. Conclusions
The Observer's comments concerning theprosecutionofMr.Uthayakumarextend beyond the fairness of the hearing on the 8 April 2003 at the High Court to the overall context in which the criminal proceedings were initiated.
As indicated previously, the way this case has been handled gives serious rise for concern. The Malaysian legal system has been under international scrutiny for its prosecution of lawyers, particularly through the use of the contempt power. Against this background stands Mr. Uthayakumar, who over the last ten years has acted in a number of cases relating to abuse of police powers, deaths in police custody, police shootings, and police inaction, frequently appearing on a pro-bono basis in high profile cases alleging human rights abuses against the Royal Malaysian Police Force. It is therefore not without coincidence that this lawyer was arrested on the steps of a court where he was representing the family of a youth who died in police custody. This high profile arrest has attracted unfavorable attention onto the authorities as well as on the prosecution who sought to hinder, intimidate or harass Mr. Uthayakumar in his work as a human rights lawyer.
A judge or magistrate must be able to conduct the case before him/her in an orderly manner. This cannot be done if advocates do not observe the judge's rulings. However, since, prosecution under Section 228 or the use of the contempt power has a direct impact on the ability of lawyers to provide effective representation – a guarantee of the right to a fair trial – considerable care must be taken before charging and arresting lawyers for this offense. As pointed out by Andrew Nichol QC in the Justice in Jeopardy Report, [11]
"Where professional lawyers are considered to have overstepped the mark, it will often be sufficient to allow the disciplinary body of the profession to investigate and, if necessary, to impose a penalty".
Alternatively, where a lawyer in exercising his or her professional functions acts overzealously, a judicial caution can be invoked without resorting to the penal code. The real purpose of sanctions such as the law on insulting a public servant during judicial proceedings, or the contempt of court, is to prevent conduct which prejudices the right to a fair trial, and not actions which individual judges perceive offensive to their dignity.
In the circumstances of this case, any alleged unprofessional conduct could have been dealt with by the Disciplinary Board of the Bar Council after the conclusion of the inquest proceedings in which Mr. Uthayakumar was appearing without resorting to arrest, detention and criminal prosecution. Although the ICJ's Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers welcomes the decision of the Attorney General to withdraw the Section 228 charges, criminal proceedings for criminal intimidation were still pursued and Mr. Uthayakumar still faced a sentence of imprisonment of up to 7 years. It is unfortunate that the Attorney General has decided to appeal the decision of the High Court to order Mr Uthayakumar's discharge.
The ICJ finds the circumstances and timing of Mr. Uthayakumar's arrest and detention deeply disturbing.
The ICJ commends the decision of the High Court to order Mr. Uthayakumar's discharge and welcomes the forthright comments of the Judge in support of the independence of lawyers. This is the first such intervention by the High Court in Malaysia in proceedings of this nature against a lawyer.
The ICJ reminds the authorities in Malaysia of their international obligations not to identify lawyers with their clients' causes and allow lawyers to perform their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or prosecution.
VII. Recommendations
1. In exercising his or her discretion under Article 145(3) of the Federal Constitution to institute, conduct or discontinue any proceedings for an offense under Section 376 of the Criminal Procedure Code, to control and give direction over and in respect of all criminal prosecutions and proceedings, the Attorney-General should act with great forbearance and restraint in relation to lawyers practicing their profession.
2. The offense of Insulting or Interrupting a Public Servant during Judicial Proceeding under Section 228 of the Penal Code should not be invoked against lawyers.
3. Unprofessional conduct by lawyers should be dealt with by the Disciplinary Board of the Bar Council after the conclusion of the proceedings in which the lawyer is acting except in the most egregious cases and/or where the continuation of the process fairly is impossible. [12]
4. The police should be fully instructed and trained regarding the role of lawyers and must refrain from any interference with, or undue pressure on, lawyers when the latter are acting in their professional capacity. Guidelines should be established on police behavior in relation to lawyers and introduced as part of police training.

The Bar Council was represented by an advocate on a "watching brief" (this accords with the recommendation of the Justice in Jeopardy report). A separate advocate represented the Police Watch and Human Rights Committee also on a watching brief.↵
Tommy Thomas (lawyer), Karpal Singh (lead defense counsel for Anwar Ibrahim charged with sedition), and Zainur Encik Zakaria (member of Anwar Ibrahim's defense team and former President of the Bar Council of Malaysia). Mr Zakaria was sentenced to three months imprisonment for contempt on 30 November 1998. He had made an application for the exclusion of two prosecutors on the basis that they had attempted to fabricate evidence. The court ruled that this application was an abuse of process and interfered with the due administration of justice. (see, Attacks on Justice, 1998, ICJ). After the Court of Appeal dismissed Zainur Zakaria's appeal on 5 September 2000, he appealed to the Federal Court. On 27 June 2001 the Federal Court ruled in favor of Mr. Zakaria and quashed the contempt of court conviction and the prison sentence.↵
See, report Justice in Jeopardy, Malaysia, 2000, by the ICJ, the International Bar Association, the Commonwealth Lawyers Association and the Union Internationale des Advocats which conducted a joint mission to Malaysia from 17-27 April 1999. The report of this mission, entitled Justice in Jeopardy, was published in April 2000. It concluded that the powerful Executive in Malaysia had not acted with due regard for the essential elements of a free and democratic society based on the rule of law. The report examined the relationship between the Executive, the Bar Council and the Judiciary and found that in politically and economically sensitive cases the Judiciary was not independent. It found that the autonomy of the Bar had been threatened by the government and that the relationship between the Bar and Judiciary was strained. It noted that in politically sensitive defamation cases, awards of damages were so great that they stifled free speech and expression. It also noted that the use of contempt proceedings against practising lawyers constituted a serious threat to their ability to render services freely. The four organisations urged Malaysia, inter alia, to recognise the independence of the Judiciary, not to threaten or diminish the autonomy of the Bar Council, ensure that the choice of judges in sensitive cases would be carefully considered and establish a Judicial Services Commission that would recommend appointments to the Judiciary.
