SHAH ALAM: PKR Youth leader Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was arrested at his home near here tonight for the Saturday public rally in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur, in support of the jailed party leader Anwar Ibrahim.

“Nik Nazmi was with his wife and children when the police came to the house,” said Fahmi Fadzil, the party’s communications director.

He was the third person to be arrested in connection with the rally under Penal Code provisions for illegal assembly.

Nik Nazmi, who is assemblyman for Seri Setia, Selangor, was taken to Jinjang police station.

Yesterday police had arrested activist Adam Adli Abdul Halim and PKR supreme council member Fariz Musa at the rally on Saturday. They were freed on police bail after being held overnight and their statements recorded.

Nik Nazmi had been pulled away by supporters when police attempted to arrest him at Dang Wangi station on Saturday. He had said earlier today that arrests will not stop the rallies in support of Anwar.
