KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 —Wong Chin Huat, a spokesman for The Coalition for Free and Fair Elections, or Bersih, who was arrested yesterday, was brought to the Jalan Duta courts this morning.
It has been speculated that Wong was brought to the courts to have his remand extended.
The authorities picked up Wong at his home last night under Section 4 (1) of the Sedition Act.
It is believed that Wong was arrested in connection with Bersih’s press conference earlier yesterday morning.
At the press conference, Bersih announced plans to mobilise people to wear black in a symbolic protest against the Perak government power grab.
Wong had called on the public to wear black tomorrow to protest the Perak government takeover by Barisan Nasional.
Wong had issued the call on behalf of polls watchdog Bersih.
