PUTRAJAYA: The police have informed the organisers of a planned solidarity rally at the Palace of Justice that they do not have permission to proceed.
When contacted, Putrajaya OCPD Asst Comm Aidi Sham Mohamed said that police had received the application on Dec 31.
"However, after further checks, it was found that the application was not complete and the police had denied permission for the gathering with the organisers already informed on Jan 3.
"The police have also made preliminary preparations by readying 456 policemen and officers for security control," he said.
A solidarity gathering had been planned on Monday to coincide with the Court of Appeal’s hearing related to an alleged royal addendum order that will apparently allow former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the rest of his prison term under house arrest.
