SOME 388 protesters have
been arrested as of 8pm at the Bersih 3.0 rally for electoral reforms here
today. The number arrested is far less than the 1,667 detained in the Bersih
2.0 rally in the city held in July 9 last year.
It is understood those
detained are expected to be sent to the police training centre Pulapol where
legal aid lawyers are already awaiting their arrival.
“None of those arrested have
been brought to the police station yet,” Bar Council committee member
Syahredzan Johan told The Malaysian Insider when contacted.
“However, detainees have
access to their phones, and from those whom we have contact with, we have been
told that they are on their way to Pulapol.”
Syahredzan later tweeted on
micro-blogging site Twitter that “5 busses, 2 trucks” ferrying detainees had
arrived at Pulapol KL.
However, lawyers are “still
waiting to be let in” as police have insisted on seeing full documentation.
“The police are just looking
at us,” he said.
One of the last few detained
was Bersih steering committee member Wong Chin Huat, who was picked up at about
7.30pm.

ReplyDeleteKerugian pasti membebankan pihak2 tertentu, terutamanya para peniaga
DeleteKalau duduk saja macam tu pasti, keganasan tidak berlaku..hehe
ReplyDeleteIni memang bukan lagi perhimpunan aman tapi boleh dikatakan rusuhan.
ReplyDeletekalau tidak ada kerja mahu buat, kan bagus duduk rumah atau buat kerja2 kebajikan..
