"I am not blaming anyone here, I believe the police were only following their standard procedure when dealing with an accused. "However, what is needed is a different procedure when authorities are handling a disabled person. "The authorities such as the Attorney-General, the Home Affairs ministry and even the police must look into the procedures involving those with disabilities. "In this case, the government must do a thorough study on the justice procedure because this does not involve those with autism or Down's syndrome. "Even those who are deaf too face problems with the police due to a breakdown in communication," he said.
