KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 — PKR today announced today the January 9 assembly in support of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be held in the parking area outside the High Court in Jalan Duta, and added it has police permission to do so.“The police have granted us permission to have our assembly at the Jalan Duta parking lot, right in front of the court entrance,” PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mat Akin told The Malaysian Insider after leaving the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.
PKR deputy president Azmin Ali announced on Tuesday that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will be amassing a rally of over 100,000 people in a show support for Anwar next Monday when the High Court delivers its decision for Sodomy II.
Azmin, who led the PKR delegation to meet with police here today, refused to divulge details, saying he will elaborate on the matter later at a press conference.
He said the meeting with the police went well, and thanked them for agreeing to meet PKR and “preparing to discuss the matter.”
“The venue has been chosen… we will carry on with our assembly,” Azmin told reporters here.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh confirmed the matter during a brief, joint press conference with PKR after their meeting.
“We have agreed that the assembly will be in accordance with the 2011 Peaceful Assembly Act.
“It is agreed that it will be held outside the (Jalan) Duta High Court parking area,” he said.
