Manila: The Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAD) extends its solidarity to Rama Ramanathan, Spokesperson of Citizens Against Enforced Disappearances (CAGED), a human rights organization based in Malaysia.

Ramanathan has recently faced intimidation by the Royal Malaysian Police for writing an article about activist Jufazli Shi Ahmad who was arrested in March this year for allegedly insulting the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The article mentions that the sister of Jufazli may have prevented his disappearance owing to her awareness of her rights and suspicion of police efforts.
