The leader of Malaysia's Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), P. Uthayakumar, is carried by supporters after being freed along a street in Klang town outside Kuala Lumpur in this November 26, 2007 file photo. Malaysia invoked a tough internal-security law on Thursday to indefinitely detain five ethnic Indian activists from a group that had staged a mass anti-government protest last month. One of those detained on Thursday was a Hindraf leader, lawyer P. Uthayakumar, who had already been charged with sedition for alleging that Malaysia practised "ethnic cleansing" of Indians, which make up about 7 percent of the population.
