Bersih memo: Four top opposition leaders, 10 others arrested
Four top opposition leaders were arrested this morning for
trying to deliver a Bersih memorandum to Parliament on the extension of
Election Commission chief's retirement age.
Among those arrested are PKR
information chief Tian Chua, PAS treasurer Dr Hatta Ramli and party committee
member Dr Lo'Lo' Ghazali, Parti Socialist Malaysia secretary-general S
Arulchelvan.
According to eyewitnesses, the police surrounded Tian
Chua’s vehicle and forcibly removed him before arresting him at about 10.40am.
Another person in the car was also detained.
Chua had failed to stop at
the roadblock and insisted on moving forward before the police swooped in
on him.
About 10 minutes later, Arutchelvan and another identified
person have also been arrested for trying to break the police cordon.
The PAS leaders were also arrested shortly after nearby.
