Update 6pm: From Suaram -
Tamilchelvan A/L Masilamani who was arrested this morning at the House of Parliament has been released on police bail around 4.10pm. He was charged under section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing public servant in discharge of his public function.
He is now getting medical treatment at a general hospital after his released. His neck was injured because of being kicked by police personnel during the arrest.
While still thinking about Syukree, I read that the final leg of the Jerit campaign went alright, except for one major hitch.
Via a Suaram press statement:
About 11.15am one of the cyclists - Tamilchelvan A/L Masilamani (in his early forties) ) was arrested by the police. The offence against him was obstructing police duty. He was accused of blaming the police personnel for stealing their bicycles, although he had only stated that their bicycles were lost.
According to Tamilchelvan who still detained at IPD Dang Wangi, he was beaten up by about 10-15 police personnel during the arrest. He was then bleeding and has not been able to access medical treatment until now.
If that’s true, it’s certainly police abuse. Deplorable!
