Illegal Assembly: Two Foreigners Detained

PUTRAJAYA, JUNE 28 (Bernama) -- Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein confirmed today that two foreigners have been detained to help police investigate an illegal rally planned for July 9.

He said the two claiming to be members of international non-governmental organisations were suspected of being involved with planners of the assembly and would be deported after their country of origin had been contacted.

Hishammuddin told reporters here that he had the impression that the organisers of the assembly had no idea what they had started except that certain political parties were exploiting the situation.

He warned all involved in defying the law to hold the assembly not to underestimate the ability of the police to investigate whatever was going on that affected security.

In another development, Hishammuddin said that Bangladesh would cooperate with Malaysia to handle human trafficking.

"This has something to do with Bangladeshi workers in this country and efforts to ensure that they are not exploited, especially by international syndicates," he added.
