Police will soon arrest participants who turned violent in last
Saturday’s rally, based on pictures taken and recordings made by several
quarters obtained by them.
Bukit Aman Crime Investigation Department director Mohd Bakri Zinin said
police would release the pictures of those who attacked the police and
members of the public, as well as caused damage to property during the
rally.
“We have their pictures and we will release them to the media and the
public soon to track them down,” he told reporters at the Bukit Aman
police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
In last Saturday’s rally, participants at the rally had not only
breached police barricades to enter Dataran Merdeka, but also a court
order that prohibited the public from being in the area between April 28
and May 1.
The order was issued following a decision by Kuala Lumpur City Hall not
to allow Dataran Merdeka to be used a venue for the gathering organised
by non-governmental organisation Bersih 2.0 and supported by the
opposition.
The organiser was instead offered other places, including Merdeka Stadium, but it was turned down.
Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh said police had
detained a man in Negri Sembilan to assist investigations into an
incident during the rally.
