We, a group of concerned Malaysian Indians residing in California, are holding a peaceful rally in front of the United Nations Plaza, San Francisco to protest the following issues:

- To mark and protest the 100th day unjust and unlawful detention of Mr. Uthayakumar, Mr. Manoharan, Mr. Ganabathirau, Mr. Kengadharan and Mr. Vasanthakumar by the Malaysian government, who have been incarcerated without trial under the draconian Internal Security Act

- To demand that the Malaysian government immediately release these five people as the government has failed to provide any evidence nor brought any charges against them

- To demand that the Prime Minister, Dato’ Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, respect the human-rights of these five people, restore their freedom, and, return them to their families immediately, as befits the leader of a civilized nation and an adherent of Islam Hadhari

- To demand equal rights for the minority Malaysian Indians, who have been oppressed, suppressed, marginalised and remain a permanently colonized community for the past 50 years since the independence of Malaysia.

- To demand the Malaysian government immediately stops the unlawful demolition of Hindu temples, where 15,000 Hindu temples have been demolished over the last 50 years.
