Nine anti-ISA protesters freed on bail
PETALING JAYA: Police have released nine demonstrators detained on Sunday for taking part in an anti-ISA gathering in Ampang Jaya.
Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said they were released on police bail.
“I just cannot understand why they do not want to hold such gatherings indoor or in enclosed areas for their own comfort.
“They don’t even apply for a permit. I urge all political parties and NGOs to obtain permits first before holding any gatherings,” he said, adding that it was vital that such gatherings be held in a peaceful manner without posing a threat to public safety.
In a related incident, Petaling Jaya deputy police Chief Supt Muhamad Shukor Sulong said police had withdrawn the police bail of 23 demonstrators who took part in a candlelight vigil for the same reason on Nov 9.
Among those arrested during the demonstration held near the Amcorp mall were state exco member Ronnie Liu and PJ Utara MP Tony Pua.
