Anita Rachman – Muhammad Nazaruddin's lawyer has expressed concerns for his client's life, since he has not been allowed to meet with the disgraced politician.

On Monday, senior lawyer O.C. Kaligis sought support from the leaders of the House of Representatives to help him gain access to his client.

Kaligis said he did not understand why investigators would not allow him to meet with his client and give him legal advice. He emphasized as the main legal representative for Nazaruddin the law stated he has the right to assist him.

Kaligis said the graft suspect's case had been manipulated from the start, but he himself is not a politician and so knew nothing about any political party deals. "I just want to defend Nazaruddin," he said.

"But I want all deals to be revealed." Kaligis added he was going to write to the president. "He will be very angry if he knows about this." He added Nazaruddin was so afraid for his life he had refused to eat anything. "He is afraid that he is going to be poisoned. [Muhammad] Nasir told me."

Nasir, Nazaruddin's cousin and a Democrat lawmaker, who accompanied Kaligis at the House, said the family was very worried about the graft suspect's condition.

He had only managed to meet with Nazaruddin before he was brought to the KPK. "It was a very short meeting," Nasir said. "He asked for a doctor but when the doctor got there, he was afraid [to meet the doctor]. He was given food, but then he was afraid to take it."

Kaligis added his client was also concerned about his wife's safety. "Which is why I will be bringing Neneng [Nazaruddin's wife] home to Indonesia soon."
