Lessons from the Hindraf 31 case

So the 31 Hindraf protesters were freed from the attempted murder charge today. Good for them.

What do we learn from this? Below is a list, which is inexhaustible.

1. The AG is so powerful that he can literally charge you with ANYTHING

2. The judiciary, especially the lower courts tend to listen to the AG and if he says no to bail, you will not get bail.

3. I personally know that there was wheeling and dealing behind the scenes involving MIC, though the party did not deal the matter directly. So at the end of the day, it is your Indian-based party in power that can come to your aid, IF it wants to.

4. You will get opposition lawyers to handle the case for you but there is a risk of the matter being turned political, and in most cases, not heading anywhere.

5. Being a minority race in this country is really dangerous. You can become a political pawn for all parties and you might not have the financial strength to fight for yourself.

Please add to the list if you wish.
