Norfatehah Ahmad, 23, memberitahu Malaysiakini bahawa dua lelaki itu, yang memperkenalkan diri mereka sebagai ahli Umno, juga bertindak merampas risalah mereka.
Kejadian itu didakwa berlaku di pasaraya Mydin pada jam 3 petang. Menurutnya, kedua-dua lelaki itu juga cuba mengheret mereka ke bangunan Umno yang terletak beberapa meter dari situ, dengan menarik tangan dan tudung mereka.
"Kami enggan ikut. Selepas itu, mereka menarik lagi tangan saya dan mengugut untuk melakukan sesuatu kepada saya jika saya tidak ikuti mereka," kata pelajar Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) itu.
"Malah mereka juga menunjukkan penumbuk kepada kami dan memberi amaran supaya kami jangan berada (di kawasan pilihan raya) Pekan. Saya begitu takut dan menangis. "
Selepas memanggil rakan-rakan mereka supaya membantu, kedua-dua aktivis pelajar itu diiringi oleh dua penduduk tempatan dan menyertai semula rakan-rakan mereka 30 minit kemudian.
Sementara itu, Setiausaha Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) Ahmad Syukri Kamaruddin memberitahu Malaysiakini, kira-kira 20 penduduk tempatan dan anggota PAS membantu membawa mereka ke sebuah madrasah yang juga merupakan bilik gerakan PAS.

Ahmad Syukri bagaimanapun mendakwa sekumpulan lebih 50 orang yang
datang menaiki kereta dan bermotosikal bertindak mengepung madrasah itu.

Ahmad Syukri memberitahu bahawa mereka berjaya mendapatkan sebuah bas untuk membawa pelajar keluar dari Pekan malam ini.
Ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini kemudiannya, Ahmad Syukri berkata mereka mengambil keputusan untuk pulang ke Kuala Lumpur "atas sebab keselamatan".
"Kita akan buat berbincang mengenai isu ini," katanya.
Menurutnya, mereka akan bertolak pulang ke Kuala Lumpur dengan sebuah bas dan dua buah kereta kira-kira jam 10 malam ini.
Sebelum itu, Ahmad Syukri mendakwa kira-kira 30 penyokong Umno bertindak merampas dan membakar risalah itu yang bertajuk 'surat dari mahasiswa untuk warga Pekan.'
Katanya, salah seorang penyokong Umno itu mahu mereka meninggalkan Pekan pada hari ini juga.
Menurut Ahmad Syukri lagi, lelaki itu mengherdik mereka dengan berkata: "Ini tempat PM kami. Kita jaga tempat ini. Kamu berambus dari Pekan sekarang juga.-malaysiakini
100 samseng Umno kepung, sepak mahasiswa di Pekan
Umno members in Pekan menaced us, claim students...
Two female student activists have accused Umno members of pulling their tudung (headscarf) while the former were distributing anti-BN pamphlets in Pekan this afternoon.
Norfatehah Ahmad, 23, told Malaysiakini that two men, who identified themselves as Umno members, surrounded her and a female friend and confiscated their pamphlets.
The incident
took
place at the Mydin supermarket at 3pm. She said the two men also tried
to drag them to the Umno building which is located several hundred
metres away, by pulling her hand and tudung."We resisted them. After that they pulled my hand again and threatened to do something to me if I didn’t follow them," the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) student said.
"They even showed their fists to us and warned us not to be in Pekan (constituency). I was so afraid that I cried."
After calling their friends for help, the two were escorted away by two locals and rejoined their colleagues 30 minutes later.
Pekan parliamentary constituency is represented by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
In a related incident, about 30 Umno supporters seized and burned pamphlets on 'Students letter to Pekan residents' which a group of 20 students were distributing this afternoon in the royal town of Pahang.
When
contacted, Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) secretary Ahmad Shukri
Kamaruddin said one of the Umno supporters wanted them to leave Pekan
the same day.He told Malaysiakini that the man told them: “It is our prime minister’s area. We are protecting this area. You get out from Pekan now.” They also hurled abusive words at the students, added Ahmad Shukri.
At around 5pm, the students retreated to a PAS operations centre outside the town, but the group of Umno supporters, said to number 50 people, followed them there and surrounded the centre until 8.30pm (at press time).
In a text message, Ahmad Syukri told Malaysiakini that the Umno supporters came in about 10 cars and on several motorcycles.
After villagers came to help the student group at the centre, he added, the Umno group left the vicinity but remained some metres away.
"We managed to get a bus to ferry out the students from Pekan tonight," Ahmad Syukri said, adding that they have to leave for Kuala Lumpur for "security reasons".
The student group planned to be in Pekan to distribute the pamphlets for a week until Sunday.
On Tuesday, Ekhsan Bukharee Badarul Hisham (left), 21, was punched and slapped at Kampung Datuk Keramat, Ganchong, while delivering the students’ pamphlets.The following day, two male students and two female students had complained that five youths on motorcycles surrounded them, with one pointing a machete at them.
The pamphlets contain the message that the Pekan constituents should "relieve BN after 55 years of rule".-malaysiakini
