Group wearing yellow T-shirts detained – now released

Ten Malaysians detained at KL Sentral as Najib arrived were taken to the Travers Police Station for their statements to be recorded. They were later released unconditionally at around 6.00pm.

One of them was reportedly wearing a Malaysian football jersey, while others wore yellow T-shirts. They had wanted to hand over a memo to Najib about the Bersih 2.0 demands.

Lawyers were already at the police station in connection with investigations into another incident during the Bersih rally when Anwar’s bodyguard was injured. Lawyer N Surendran who accompanied the bodyguard was himself questioned about an Insider article he had written about the incident.

Time to read this Aliran article: Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad
And to think Malaysia sits on the UN Human Rights Council…

Or maybe the police just want to spare Najib more exposure to yellow after his recent visit to Queen Elizabeth, who was of course attired in bright yellow.
